Wooden Boat Restoration Projects
Restoration has played an important part in the story of Dan Lee Boatbuilding.
Over the years, the workshop has undertaken a variety of wooden boat restoration, repair and refinishing projects—from structural rebuilds to detailed varnishing and final fit-out. Although restoration is no longer a core focus of the business, this gallery brings together a selection of previous projects, along with occasional work currently taking place in the workshop.
