Accommodation
locally is excellent across the range including hotel, Bed and Breakfast
and self catering (Leckmelm Farm and Lochside cottages are within
walking distance of the boat shed).

Maintenance Modern finishes allied with traditional building methods make for a light, strong boat, and the use of mastic between the lands (overlaps) makes these boats watertight from launch with none of the traditional ‘taking up’. A good hose down and a lick of varnish every three years will keep her looking pristine for many years. And if you damage a plank, indeed any part of a clinker boat, it’s simplicity itself to repair.
