DLS Peggotty came to us for a restoration back in 2017. She needed a complete hull re-planking, interior refit and decoration. This was an epic planking job relying on traditional boat building methods. Peggotty has made her debut back with the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships at various events , she will also be returning to Dunkirk 2020 with the fleet. Scroll through to see the stages of the job.

Elsa II is very special boat for us she was close to being lost for good when she had a complete restoration back in 2014 and now she proudly takes position with DLS fleet at most events.

Margo will be in our yard in a few weeks time, looking forward to having her back on the slipway

After an extensive exterior and interior refit it lovely to get a photo from the owners enjoying there newly refurbished rampart.

This incredible photo is of our chief painters final gloss on this black Chris Craft hull. Over the years we have honed the art of achieving amazing results applied in the traditional manner, remember this is pure brush applied, no spraying, no buffing just pure traditional skills. Well done Glenn brilliant work.

A carving detail from a very special boat. Golden Butterfly was built by us around 30 years ago and we still maintainer her 30 years later
