Most of my woodwork has arisen through the necessity of maintaining boats. So, it’s been a trip down memory lane to repair a small GRP rowing dinghy which we have had for 25 years and which was built in the 1970’s by Pearson Brothers of Arundel, West Sussex.
In recent years it has been decaying slowly at the far end of the garden. It had reached the point when it needed a new transom and gunwales. It’s not high end cabinetry but it has given a decent little boat a new lease of life.
