Traditional and modern (cold molded) wooden boats are the origin of Riverside Boatworks. We began by building a strip planked 64′ wood ketch to a New Zealand design.
We can design, loft, and build wooden hulls, from small pulling boats and dinghies to ocean going craft. We have done numerous major structural rebuilds, replacing keels, frames, planking, decking and spars
A major part of our work is fine wood-crafted interiors for all sorts of boats, from live-aboard steel trawlers to sailing yachts.
Repair and maintenance of teak decking and brightwork are specialities.
Proper caulking and finishes for traditional wooden hulls is another aspect of our work.
Pia (left) and Freedom (right) are two classic motorsailers currently being rebuilt in our shop.
