BATES BOATYARD

Welding, carpentry and joinery, engine servicing and repairs, painting, blacking and general boat maintenance are available on site. The dock is also available for hire on a DIY basis... Towage and salvage operations are accommodated with a work boat and a skipper for hire... Although the main wooden canal boat building era ended towards the middle of the last century, Bates Boatyard has continued to produce fine quality restorations and new wooden boats, that have an individuality and character unrivalled by the mass production of modern steel hulls.
