Today was Launch Day at the Lyme Regis Boat Building Academy.
After 40 weeks of intensive learning, designing, and building, the September 2025 students watched their hard work come to life as their completed boats took to the water for the very first time.
It was a proud and memorable moment, marking the culmination of months of dedication, craftsmanship, and perseverance.
Congratulations to all the students on an incredible achievement and a truly successful Launch Day.
Boats launched:
16' Ebihen glued-clinker cutter sailing boat
18' traditional clinker-built Grimsby workboat
17' strip-planked Gartside #221 outboard runabout
