SOLENT WoODEN BOATS

WHAT WE DO

Using traditional skills, we at Solent Wooden Boats make and repair small wooden boats, as well as peripheral items including oars and spars. We have particular experience of working on unique projects that need a flexible approach and much problem solving to meet a customer’s needs.

BOAT CONSTRUCTION

We are happy to undertake wooden boat builds using traditional and modern techniques. This is an example of a nesting yacht tender.

PERIPHERALS



We can make custom peripherals. These are flat oars for a St Ayles skiff but we can also make other types such as spoon oars for Cornish gigs.
