Boat Building Academy Boat Launch 
  Just eight months ago this Class  was learning how to sharpen chisels and make dovetail joints.  Now they’re making boats as part of their training
on our intensive 38 week ‘Boat Building, Maintenance and Support’ course.  You can read what brought each student to the Academy and follow the progress of the boat builds at www.boatbuildingacademy.com.

At 2.30pm(ish) the boats will be led from the Academy’s workshops on Monmouth Beach to Lyme Regis Harbour. Champagne corks will pop  and each boat will be launched into the water for the first time. The launch will celebrate the achievements of the class, the end of their training at the Academy and the start of their new lives as boat builders. the slipway  - This is an approximate time due to the scale of the event.  more info.. see right

Exhibitions
 


A Celebration of Sky

7th March - 11th June 2023
 

The next exhibition at Lyme Regis Museum’s Rotunda Gallery  will focus on cloudscape lino prints by Exeter-based printmaker Steve Manning.  Working out of his attic studio with commanding views of sky and clouds, Steve is drawn to liminal places where sky and water merge and to ephemeral cloudscapes over big landscapes. His aim is to deliver images with a lightness of touch and a painterly quality reminiscent of watercolours. This is achieved by thinning ink with extenders, lightening with white, wiping ink on the block, deliberately reducing the amount of ink applied with the roller and combining press and hand finishing processes. 

Tues-Sun 10am-4pm; but check Museum website (www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk) for holiday openings and admission charges.

Landscapes of Dorset and Cornwall

13th June - 13th August 2023
 

Caroline Nairn is a Weymouth-based artist whose inspiration comes from the Dorset countryside and West Country coastline.  Her love of nature, walking and sketching outdoors has led her to create this exhibition of paintings and drawings, called Landscapes of Dorset and Cornwall.  Caroline usually works in acrylics, pastels or mixed media, and her focus in this show is on depicting local scenes, especially trees, water and rock structures, as the shapes and patterns in these natural forms provide her with fascinating projects. 

Tuesdays-Sundays from 10am until 4.30pm; check website www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk

Lifeboat Week 2023

Boat Building Academy
student boat launch Lyme Regis Harbour

 

The end of the 38 week Boat Building Course. Students will walk their boats down to Lyme Regis harbour where they will be launched for the first time. The class have completed their training and the day marks the start of their lives as boat builders.

Yvonne Green, Principal of the Academy, says, ‘I’m confident that the students wishing to work in the marine industry will easily find employment. We have an excellent relationship with employers and students join our growing Graduates’ Network which is regularly updated with jobs and opportunities. There is a skills shortage in boat building, which is a thriving industry’.

After a few words from Commander Tim Gedge, a Director of the Academy, the boats will launch one by one into the water. The Academy would be delighted if you would like to join them to celebrate the achievements of the students

Read about where Academy Graduates go on to work, their profiles, photographic build diaries and Graduate case studies, see the Academy’s website at:   www.boatbuildingacademy.com

 

WALKS and TOURS

Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than fifteen minutes hike without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't take a chance!
