Wooden boat repair

    Folks, I have a small wooden boat. I'd say it's no more than 17ft long. I will try and upload a picture.

    Anyways, some of the planks are soft and there are some broken ribs. I'm looking for someone to carry out the repairs.

    The boat is in Greystones but I'm willing to travel with it. It's on a decent trailer.

    I'd love to be able to carry out the repairs myself but I don't have the time, facilities or knowledge.

    Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Thank you.

    Just bumping this up. Perhaps I wasn't clear. Looking for someone to carry out the repairs.
    Could be a handy job/few bob over the winter for someone

    Thanks S

    I'm surprised no one has taken you up on this, work must be picking up out there :) I would do it for you but I have two boats here at the moment and thats all I can fit sorry.
    I know it would be a bit of a trip for you but if you don't get anyone try http://www.woodengems.ie/contact.html

    This might also be another option it's a boatbuilding class in Dun Laoghaire maybe they would take it on as a project.http://www.qualifax.ie/qf/QFPublic/?Mainsec=courses&Subsec=course_details&ID=68082

    Some useful leads there. Thank You.

    I posted the same message to the Greystones forum (that's where I live) and I did receive some recommendations. However, the one lead i really hoped would work out did not as the person can't take it on. So I'll follow up on the ideas here.

    Thanks again.
