SUNDAY 17 March 1100-1215 Mark Corke: Traditional wooden boats have been built in the same way for hundreds if not thousands of years but with the introduction of epoxy resins all that changed. Strip planking is just one such method that has gained popularity in recent times and which allows the use of woods hitherto deemed unsuitable as boat building materials to be turned into beautiful vessels. Noted marine surveyor, journalist and boat builder Mark Corke will discuss in detail the tools, techniques and skill required to build such a craft from start to fi nish. Illustrated with photographs and diagrams with plenty of time for questions and answers. 1215-1330PM Rob Benson, Portland

“I manage the docking and refitting of 200 vessels. So when it came to refitting my own yacht,


I chose Portland Yacht Services.” —Master Mariner John H. Bowering (Adm. Ret.) aboard his yacht, Osprey As a professional fleet manager, John knows all the pitfalls


of working with a boatyard. But after having Portland Yacht Services re-instrument; rebuild the engine and gearbox; rewire and re-plumb;


and soda-blast and recoat Osprey’s hull, he says, “I’m entirely impressed with their skills, quality of work and ability to come up with practical solutions to seemingly intractable problems. And they’re great fun to work with!”
