hull group visits the alexandria seaport foundation

We arrived unannounced, but the staff here were just super and gave an impromptu tour of their boat building facility.  The apprenticeship program is open to young adults, age 17-22, who have struggled through the traditional school system.  The Foundation offers a great opportunity for folks to learn practical skills, learn through hands-on experience and to be able build a boat!  Those of use who had worked on the wooden mock-up of the 2013 ISR entry Il Calamaro could really appreciate the intricacies of wood bending, etc.  Again, we added to our knowledge base of what programs are available and where skilled professionals are to be found.  Thank you, Alexandria Seaport Foundation and Mr. Chadwick for this great tour.
