Gig Harbor Boat Shop is offering "Apprentice for a Day" Thunderbird #2 Restoration. Initiated in February 2010, participants in the ongoing program sign up for a single day and work under the guidance of the instructor on the restoration task of the day. The historic 26" Thunderbird Hull #2 (built in 1958 at Eddon Boatyard, now the home of Gig Harbor Boat Shop) is the initial focus of this program. In the first phase, participants are working under the guidance of Thunderbird sailboat specialist Jamie Storkman and Historic Preservationist Matthew Meachem to learn how to properly remove and document boat hardware, accessories and structural pieces using the "U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Vessel Preservation Projects" as a guide.
Would you like to be an Apprentice For the Day? Call (253) 857- 9344 to sign up for one or all six sessions. Each session runs 10am - 2pm and costs $30 for members and $40 for non members.
