Hi all. Reaching out to UK boat owners in Hastings area.
I am relocating from Richmond (working in Chertsey) to Hastings and was wondering where people go for boat repairs. I am a cabinet maker - boat builder and so need to find a new yard to work for/from as the commute from Hastings to Chertsey will be tough. So does anybody in the area know any good boat yards that work on wooden boats. If there are none I may even consider setting up on my own.
Thanks for any help

There is still a strong tradition of beach launched clinker fishing boats along the coast, many with a lute stern. One of the most famous builders was Lowers of Newhaven. Someone must look after them but I am too far west to know any names.
