Compensation/Rate: Depending on experience, but very fair indeed. We believe in living wages.
Location: Granby, MA
Position Summary:
Acorn to Arabella is a boatbuilding project in Granby, Massachusetts documented on YouTube. The boat has been built of wood harvested on the farm where the builder grew up, and he's the fifth generation to be there.

It would be great if someone could do all of this, but perhaps you feel very comfortable with one particular aspect of the job. Please still get in touch, we could divide the work between those very skilled people.
Installation tasks would include:
—Nanni Diesel with remote filtration (guidance from the manufacturer is available), exhaust, through-hulls, hoses, shaft alignment, stuffing box
—12-volt batteries (LiFePO4 banks)
—12-volt electrical appliances (cabin lights, nav lights, cabin fans, nav gear, diesel heater, breaker panels, etc.)
—Plumbing for two sinks, bilge pumps, and a water maker
For all of these, a plan for placement will be in place and the equipment has already been purchased and is already in hand or on its way. The job here is to execute these plans and, if the candidate is able, to improve upon them and sweeten those plans as they go. We cannot provide housing on-site, but we can talk about what's possible in the area if you need to relocate for this temporary position.
