Wildway Boats
Traditional boats have been developed through years of experience of working men going to sea and finding out what works and what does not. The designs are relatively simple, with no room for frills, but are effective, strong and possess a simple beauty.
We bring you three superb classics, faithful replicas, hand built in modern fibreglass and fitted out with durable hardwood, to provide authentic sailing looks and performance without the time input required to maintain a wooden boat.
Across our range there is sufficient scope to cater for most needs, contact us to find out more.
St Ives Punt
The original boat (left in picture) is from Cornwall, built to a St Ives punt design around 100 years ago. She can be propelled by oar, sail or sculled using an oar through the cut in the transom. This boat is seaworthy and built strongly to take West Coast seas and shingle beaches. We love this simple, beautiful design and have strived to ensure all of these characteristics are retained in her new sisters
Oyster Lugger
Absolutely classic 12 foot lug sail dinghy. These have been produced by a local builder for many years. Combines great performance with stunning looks.
Atlas Barge Boat
The original was the boat to Atlas an 1895 Sailing Barge built to take bricks from the East Coast to London. Shipwright Bill Gregory perfected this design over a lifetime. This boat combines power with great load carrying abilities and looks identical to barge boats used on restored Sailing Barges today.
On the water
As you would expect from sailing enthusiasts, our boats perform very well on the water. Whether under oar, sail or small motor our boats are stable and well mannered. Our boats are well built from working boat designs which were built to last and cope with tough conditions. Our boats are built from top grade materials and all have built in buoyancy for safety.
