BOAT BUILDING

Becky Lechota, 12, uses a pencil to mark a piece of wood at the Great Lakes Discovery Center in Traverse City on Saturday. Children ages 8-12 learn to build two sailboats as part of the center’s Opti-Pram Sailboat Building Workshop. Students who complete the course receive a full scholarship to a Traverse Area Community Sailing two week, half-day session to learn to sail the boats they build.
