I think you are all being very unfair. I, for one, would be very interested to know what sort of classic boats he bulds in Turkey.

I am experienced wood bending and epoxy lamination. I have a rafined team for high quality traditional workmanship. I am ready building classical boats of any kind which is wooden. I can make refitting and restorations as well. I want to build pilot cutters and schooners. I need to know if there is a market for those boats. I want to hear suggestions.

Thanks..

Do you mean a market in Turkey or in the UK?
If you mean Turkey we probably wouldn't be able to help you as we probably don't know.
If you mean in the UK. Well, let's say there will be a variety of opinions.

I know Turkish market. Here everybody is asking for plastic boats. That's it. very less people are interested keeping heritage and sailing. For that reason I am looking for abroad markets. Our workmanship is fairly cheap with high quality. I met an english friend here who worked as a captain for the smack boats of trinity sailing foundation. He knows many details about the pilot cutters as well. He says they are fast and sailing with them is exciting. I think I can build them here with cedar strips cold molding for a fair prices. I need opinions.

Thanks..
