Talking to some local youngsters, the amazing part is that the Rancho Cotate students have a shop at all. The boat is icing with sprinkles on an awesome cake.

Bill Hartman, the Rancho Cotate wood shop teacher, is awesome. He busts his butt to make sure that the students have a really strong resource, and a lot of those kids really need it.
And I haven't let it slip to this year's team because I don't want to promise things, and so far only one of 'em really kicks ass, but at least one boutique furniture maker in the west county uses the boat building competition (and Bill's woodworking program) as a way to find apprentices. So, yeah, this can have a measurable impact on their future.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
