He has spent many years in the Marine Industry and can be seen out sailing around the local area as well as the English Riviera. If you require information, please use our enquiry form on this site, which is submitted directly to Owen. Alternatively, when telephoning or simply dropping in, the first person you are likely to speak to is Tracey.
About us
Boat building repairs have been carried out in Flushing, in an area known as Little Falmouth, since the early 1800's, when the packet ships and other merchant sailing ships were built. Over the years, the area became the centre for the building of many traditional wooden craft such as oyster boats, quay punts, working boats and custom-built yachts. During the War years the boatyard turned its hand to the construction of motor torpedo boats (MTB’s),many of which left Flushing directly to raid on St.Nazaire.
Yard News
A number of exciting projects are underway in the yard. As reported in the local press recently, we have been awarded the refitment of the “Star of Life”, which is the NHS Isle of Scilly Ambulance Boat.
