I am a traditional boatbuilder, repairer and restorer based near Weymouth in Dorset, UK.
A graduate of the Boat Building Academy (BBA) in Lyme Regis, I achieved a BBA Certificate of Achievement (Distinction) and a City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Marine Construction, Systems Engineering and Maintenance (Boatbuilding) 6600/2306/5.
I am a Full Member of the Wooden Boatbuilders Trade Association (visit WBTA website here).
Traditional wooden boats are an artform in themselves and have served a practical purpose for centuries. Building methods such as Clinker (my favourite) have been mostly unchanged since before the days of the Vikings.
For wood engraving I use a 3-axis CNC router cutter with a 31″ x 31″ capacity and a full design service is available.
Wood turning, signs and gifts are made from boatbuilding off-cuts – so nothing is wasted.
