CLASSIC BOATS We specialise in all types of work on both classic sailing and motor boats. Anything from minor repairs, winter service or complete restoration, our experienced boatbuilders have specialist skills in woodwork. With 'Troika', the classic Dragon, David did a major refit from keel off to new deck and new interior. This 40 year old Dragon is now extremely competitive and a regular race winner in Cowes Week. Currently we are restoring a number of X Boats, a Yarmouth OD, and have a Bruce Campbell designed Christina 25 in the yard for restoration.

QUARTER TONNERS
The growing interest in the Quarter Ton class has seen varying degrees of work done on famous race boats of the 1970's and 1980's. David Heritage has been involved in a number of these including a complete rebuild of the Paul Whiting designed 'Runaway Bus' and a refit of Joubert Nivelt 'Snoopy'. The work on Runaway Bus included new structure and deck, new rig, new keel and rudder and new systems leaving the boat to look as new.
Over the Winter of 2008/9, David has worked extensively on Anchor Challenge which has had a complete refit, including new keel, rudder and rig, and more recently the Spanish Quarter Tonner Aguila now owned by Rob Gray. Anchor Challenge and Aguila recently came 1st and 2nd in the Sovereign's Cup in Kinsale, Ireland.
