How's this for an outrageous idea? What about setting up a boat 
building centre as well, and build stitch-and-glue boats. If you've 
got fibreglass, then you must be able to get plywood.

The boat building could be a profit centre as well, would provide 
income (I would imagine) to a few builders, and would be a source of 
supply for boats for the training centre.

It sounds like a worthwhile adventure. I wish you the best of luck 
with it!
