Re-Canvasing Decks on Lightning Sailboats

Re-Canvasing Decks on Lightning Sailboats - Workshop

March 31 - April 2, 2023
Come join use for a hands on workshop where we plan to re-canvas the decks on three or four classic / wood Lightning Class Sailboats, in the workshops of the Finger Lakes Boating Museum (FLBM) in Hammondsport NY over the weekend of March 31 to April 2, 2023.

The program is sponsored by the Museum along with the Classic Boats fleet of the International Lightning Class Association.

Canvas is a traditional covering for boat decks on wooden boats. It provides both a classy finish and anti skid properties, and properly applied will last for years. Come join us in the museum workshops and learn these skills under the guidance of experienced craftsman in their first rate facilities.

Tuition is just $200 for the weekend, proceeds are a charitable contribution to the efforts of the museum, which currently has on display the original mold used to build the early Skaneateles Lightnings, along with restored Lightning #167.

Both a fabulous opportunity to learn how to do prepare and install this traditional wooden boat deck finish, and an opportunity to meet and work with a group of fellow Lightning and wood boat enthusiasts.
