I’m Hanns, a building trades and woodworking instructor. In addition to teaching basic design and construction skills, I love sharing my passions for sailing, voyaging, and boat building with my students.
In 1995, I built my first boat, and in 1998, I started sailing tall ships. Since then, I’ve built six boats and overseen four boat building classes.
I have served aboard Appledore IV, Appledore V, the schooner Huron Jewel, and am currently crew aboard the schooner Serenity.
My woodworking students have built numerous boats in various school shops, but we are capable of building something bigger, a tall ship for the Great Lakes and beyond.
Now, I've finally found a school that will let me do this—Eau Claire High School in lower southwest Michigan. We are a small, high-poverty, rural school not far from Benton Harbor, MI.
We will build Appledore VI, a 85' ft gaff-rigged schooner.
With our school's permission, my building trades class will first build a pole barn on our campus. Big C Lumber, the local lumberyard, will support the project by donating the pole barn materials, but we'll need funds for electrical service hook-up, site preparation, etc.
Then we can start building our ship.
https://gofund.me/e69f989f9
But we need your help. Please pitch in today to help us buy:
- ship plans
- engine
- sails
- paint
- epoxy
- etc.
Building this tall ship will teach the students valuable work skills that can help them in the workplace and in life. It will also teach them how to work as a team to achieve goals.
It's not just about building boats, sailing, and having fun.
It's about working together toward a common goal, making a dream come true, and doing something together that no one can do alone!
