BSLOL sent out a email reminder today, not too late to sign up.
Hi All!!
Spring is upon us and the water is melting (not quick enough). We wanted to send out a quick final reminder via email for the final winter workshop of the year.
This is going to be a another good one so do not miss it.
Jim Swanson, owner and founder of Express Composites, will host this seminar on what his company can offer regarding composites, reinforcements, core materials, abrasives and oh, so much more. Whether you are a vintage wooden boat restorer, a fiberglass restorer or starting a new build from scratch using a contemporary plan, there is something here for you. Jim has spent over forty years building, restoring, racing (did I mention RACING) and generally hanging out with boats. This will be a fun filled session - and with a little encouragement, he may even tell you about flipping his dad's Ventnor! Bring your questions with an open mind, he'll have a lot (and multiple) answers for you.
Workshop Agenda:
