Looking for a small boat builder

[mudgey]

Some years ago, a boat builder based in Lincolnshire was building a small sailing vessel and they exhibited it once at the Earls Court boat show. This builder was also restoring a Harrison Butler yacht; does anybody recall the details of the small yacht they were building, or the name of the builder?

I think you mean Morton Boats who built the Eagle 525. They bought the molds used for the Skipper 17 and made some modifications and produced a very nice boat. They ceased to produce them a few years back as they began to import a slightly bigger range. Their site is

I know the owners and they did exhibit at Earls Court some years ago. I don't think they do as much in the way of boat repairs as they did 15 years ago. Don't get me wrong, they have a very good business, that is expanding, but they have diversified over the years.

There is also a new site for the Skipper 17
