We wish all boat lovers a very Happy Christmas & New Year!
An ideal present for Christmas - our book written by Colin Henwood with photography by Michael English:
Alan Titchmarsh recognises craftsmanship...
Colin Henwood was featured in an article by Alan Titchmarsh in The Sunday Telegraph 'Life' section on October 6. Alan extolls the virtues of craftsmanship in the creation of something beautiful as well as useful, and he writes that Colin maintains the complex traditions of Thames boatbuilding by building "the most exquisite boats you will ever set eyes, or hands, on."

Boats for Sale
We have been given the opportunity to find new homes for two remarkable boats that were privately commissioned and built in our boatyard. The 1930s style Yacht Tender (which came with us to Goodwood) and the electric launch Lady Helen were both built to a very high specification and have been maintained in first class order. The boats can be seen on our Boats for Sale page, but for further information please contact Colin or Lucie Henwood.
Henwood and Dean are members
