Apprentices and Lowell's crew recently steamed, stretched, stapled, and painted the canvas on our soon-to-be fully restored Beetle Cat wooden sailboat. How did we do it? It was easier than we thought it was going to be to canvas this complex deck with a whole lot of shape in it.

A National Historic Landmark and working museum, Lowell’s is dedicated to preserving and perpetuating the art and craft of wooden boat building. In our boatbuilding and shop update videos, we're hoping to take you inside our living museum where we build new boats for clients, restore boats for other museums, and provide a space for events and on-the-water programs for all ages. Our museum is open for guided and self-guided tours. Visit http://lowellsboatshop.com/ to see how you can become a member, attend a program, or get involved in boatbuilding workshops.
