A boat designed by Myron Spaulding in 1923 while he was a student at the Polytechnic High School in San Francisco will be the boatbuilding project for the 2010 Youth Apprentice Program at the Spaulding Wooden Boat Center. World-renowned boat designer Tom Wylie has updated and adapted the design for use in the youth program.

High-school aged apprentices will learn the art and craft of traditional wooden boatbuilding working alongside professional boat builders in the oldest wooden boatyard in Sausalito.

Details are available at 2010 Youth Apprentice Program.

The volunteer crew of Polaris, our 1906 gaff sloop (see Sail with Us for more about Polaris) was busy this past weekend getting Polaris ready for the 2010 sailing season. Polaris, along with Pegaus, our 1962 Spaulding 33, take guests out for sails on San Francisco Bay. A total of eight crew rotations will be training and preparing in the next weeks for the upcoming sailing season.
