He will discuss the different styles of quarterboards and the techniques used in carving them. The presentation will be at the Sail MV building at 110 Main street in Vineyard Haven.

On April 16 Brock Callen will discuss the basics of coastal navigation, and on April 30, Mike Oliveira will present information on diesel engine maintenance and repair. On May 7, Myles Thurlow will offer a lesson on marlinspike.
