The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Hadlock, Washington, is expected to complete the construction of a new building-the school's fifth-in March. The 6,300-sq-ft, steel-framed building will be named the Jeff Hammond Boat Shop after the school's senior instructor. The building makes room for what will be a record number of students, 55, in the coming year for the school, which marks its 30th anniversary this year. One large project coming up is a commission to build a 62' Bob Perry-designed sailing yacht, which the new building will accommodate. Fundraising for the final $70,000 needed for completion of the $500,000 building project continues. Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding, 42 N. Water St., Port Hadlock, WA 98339; 360-385-4948; www.nwboatschool.org.
