Since opening the workshop in 2003 here in Fowey, Cornwall, we have nearly always had a new boat on the stocks, ranging from an 18′ Murray peterson designed double ender ‘Bluebelle’, planked in Alaskan Yellow Cedar, on an Oak backbone, with a Beta Marine 13.5hp engine from Fowey Harbour Marine Engineers, sails and cover by Mitchell Sails in Fowey
The 11 foot Mahogany on Oak Clinker Rowing boat ‘Carlotta’ was a copy of an older boat, built to scull over the stern, so the buoyancy provided there would enable a small outboard to be used, without the bow lifting too far when under way,
Several Fowey River class clinker sailing dinghies have been built, ‘ L’Hirondelle’, ‘Kingfisher’, ‘Four Brothers’ ,’ Orinoco’, and ‘Penguin’ with another 2 launched spring 2012. Built of Spruce or Mahogany planking on Oak steamed timbers, with a steel centreplate and gunter rig.
Four Troy Class Yachts have been built since 2003, ‘Jet’, ‘Gem’,’ Helen’ (since renamed ‘Black Pearl’), and ‘Red Beryl’ number 28, was launched in 2009.
