DESCRIPTION – Small Vessel Fabrication and Repair is a two-year program whose main goal is to prepare individuals for employment in the vessel repair, fabrication, service and maintenance sector of the marine industry. Students work on a variety of “real world” repair, service and construction projects. Hands-on instruction is provided in composite boat construction and repair, marine woodworking and joinery, lofting, plug and mold construction and marine spray painting systems. Boat yard operation skills are learned and practiced year round. These include marine straddle-lift operation, crane operation, forklift and hydraulic trailer operation. There are also courses that focus on the rigging, mechanical, plumbing, propulsion, and electrical systems of boats.
In our 2nd Semester we offer;
MARR 29 Blueprint Reading for Marine Technicians (2 credits)
Prepares the student to read and understand working drawings typical to the marine and cabinetry industries. Basic drafting techniques will be practiced but the emphasis is on interpretation of blueprints and understanding spatial relationships in orthographic projections. Blueprints of projects that will be built in Woodworking and Yacht Joinery will be studied. Sketching both orthographic and isometric views will be practiced. The student will attain a working knowledge of SI Metric and Imperial measurement systems. (60 hrs. lecture / lab)
MARR 30 Woodworking (3 credits)
Covers the safe and proper use of power and hand woodworking tools. Procedures for sharpening, maintaining, and adjusting of tools are stressed. Rough wood stock is milled and the fabrication of proper wood joints is stressed. Instruction is also provided in the survey and repair of the wooden components of a vessel. (90 hrs. lecture / lab)
MARR 31 Yacht Joinery (3 credits)
Advanced joinery projects are covered in this course. Projects include lamination techniques, biscuit joinery, and rabbeted moldings. Hands-on instruction in the use of the radial arm and table saws, mortising machine, shaper, and router is also provided.
