New Boat Builds

I’m able to cover any aspect of boat building, from keel up traditional builds from drawings to finishing off an unfinished kit boat project; please contact me to discuss your needs.

Fly Fisher 12

Welcome to our 12-foot heavy duty Fibre Glass hulled rowing boat. It was developed for a fly-fishing club who needed a stable heavy-duty boat that could stood in whilst casting. The Fly Fisher would also make the perfect day boat or tender.

It has forward, middle and aft buoyancy tanks, two mahogany benches plus aft tank and an option for mahogany side benches. It can be rowed or motored using an outboard, there is a possibility to make it sailing boat under special request.

Price on request

All wooden vessel construction undertaken;

Clinker planking
Carvel planking
Strip planking
Diagonal planking
Cold moulded
Finishing off kits
Fitting out bare hulls

I can also build in GRP but for one offs epoxy mat sheaved strip planking is often best and looks the same.

A new range of classic boats

I’ve always been dreaming of boat designs and collecting lines drawings from many classic craft. So I’m developing a small range of new boats both power and sail. All have great scope for customisation for your personal requirements and are based on the traditional Norfolk Broads boat lines and looks. Some of the ideas are dinghies, canoes, sailing Norfolk Gun Punts, small 60’s style launches, Half-deckers and slipper stern launches.
