International Yacht Restoration School

International Yacht Restoration School Review

This school, off Thames Street in a former power plant, lets you watch shipwrights and students as they overhaul historically significant sailboats and powerboats. Placards recount each boat's past. The 1885 racing schooner Coronet and the original "cigarette boat" are two standouts.
