classic ‘ strawberries and cream ’ look . The new owner has the opportunity to create something truly unique and outstanding to match their personal taste and character .
Once fully restored we spend over a month applying up to 16 coats of Awlwood varnish to the deck to ensure that its preserved against the rigors of exposure to the elements . Each coat is applied then sanded smooth before the next coat is applied to get that deep lustrous look that defines boats of this era .
At Andrews Boathouses we take pride in working closely with our customers so that when they commission a build they enjoy the unique experience of building a one of a kind vessel that will bring pride and pleasure for many years to come .
