At the Maritime Museum in San Francisco, they have building wooden boat
classes. You get to build one for yourself.

Used to do the same at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.
Small sail & rowing boats and then kayaks.
Lady two doors up joined a class to build a wooden kayak and is still going on excursions all over the province with friends she made there...and she's in her early '70s.
