Beginner's course in wooden boat building has the goal to provide the student with basic skills and experience to continue with more advanced courses and projects. The course project is to build the 4 meter (13 ft) clinker sailing boat Trullö 400. The boat combines traditional esthetics and function, and is designed to be relatively easy to build for a beginner. The building project is facilitated with ready made jigs. To qualify for participation in the course one has to master basic wood working skills.

Advanced courses and projects aim at buidling bigger and more demanding yachts such as coastal cruisers and sea cruisers. These courses are arranged depending on the orders for new boats, and the number of students and assistants that can be enrolled. Restauration and reconstruction projects of old boats are also on the agenda.
