Launching Granny’s Pram-11/24

Over the course of six weeks GetOutAndLearn students have been meeting three times per week in their classroom on the Lagoon in San Francisco’s Aquatic Park. Employing traditional wooden boat building techniques students are building an Iain Oughtred designed “Granny Pram.” Alongside building the Pram students are learning to sail “Pelicans”, row a traditional whaleboat and even build oars with a professional shipwright. We even had the good fortune to sail the Alma with Captain Jason Rucker and crew.

Here students prepare to launch ‘Hot Lynx’ at the Hyde Street Pier’s Aquatic Park.

Through hard work and focus students converted this pile of lumber into a rather beautiful sailing vessel.
