Detailed description:
BOAT RESTORATIONS & REPLICAS - We have specialized over the years in work for Museums, River Launches and ordinary Rowing Boats. We can do it all, or help you with the difficult bits. We have built historic replicas for museums and individuals. For boats with vintage engines we can do engine refurbishment.
BOAT BUILDING - We have a range of stock designs that we can build and we have designed and built boats for classic magazines. CHANDLERY - In the past we have sold Traditional Boat Chandlery. Not so much now though although we do keep some items for sale, mainly copper and bronze fastenings, white and red lead.
EXHIBITIONS & PROJECT MANAGEMENT - over the years we have been successful in attracting funding to larger scale boat restoration projects, and we have advised in the early stages of a number of boat projects. We have also worked on exhibits for exhibitions. We are members of the Wooden Boatbuilders Trade Association.
