Restoring vintage wooden boats is a passion which combines an obsession with wood, a love of the water as well as an appreciation of history and heritage. Seldom does the practice of bringing an historical wooden boat back to life involve square cuts; everything has either roundness or odd angles since, obviously, perfectly “square” boats have never existed. Every moment in the restoration process is therefore engaging considering that the completed boat is meant to be a demonstration of its original function and hence also of its link to the past.
