EXPERTISE
Harry and Hugh share a life long love of traditional wooden boats, with each having gained professional training and expertise in their repair and restoration.
​
TRADITIONAL METHODS
Restorations and repairs are completed using traditional methods and materials to sensitively restore and preserve as much of the original materials as possible.
​
FLEXIBILITY
The Otter Workshop provides a well equipped, weatherproof space for most projects, but if it's more appropriate to work on your boat in situ, Harry and Hugh can bring their tools and expertise to you.
