Boat building

Some great study options in the Western Cape:

• Boat Building Academy Small Craft Production Levels 2 - 4: False Bay College (Westlake Campus)

The Boatbuilding Industry in South Africa is quite small and is concentrated around the building of custom-built yachts, ski-boats, leasure boats and fishing boats. They also do alterations and repair of boats. Because of the dangerous conditions of our seas, boatbuilding is expensive in South Africa; so there isn't a big market. However, the boatbuilding industry has produced impressive designs and boats which are attracting the interest of overseas buyers. People who wish to follow a career in this industry will have to be highly skilled and dedicated to their trade.
