Wooden boat shipwrights?

Tabnabs · 2012-03-07 14:35:50

Just wondering what yards would be considered the best in the country for fit out and/or alterations for wooden boats? I'm thinking along the lines of general external maintenance but significant internal refit/alterations. Boat is only about 26ft LOA so not a trawler or anything significant.

If its along the lines of a fishing boat rather than a yacht/cruiser then O'Malley Boats in Achill would be worth a try if your that side of the country.
They've a small set up but top class workmanship.
PM if you want their number.
