Traditional Boat Building skills preserved in Lowestoft by Mike and Lyn Tupper

Traditional boat building skills are the central focus of the International Boatbuilding Training College at Lowestoft. Our speakers, co-owners Mike and Lyn Tupper, are passionate about preserving and promoting traditional skills and believe that learning should begin by working with a variety of tools on real projects from day one as Dennis and Anne Kell discovered when they took their wooden boat there to complete it.
