Lady Hamilton

The Lady Hamilton is a Helford based fishing boat that was sunk in a collision last autumn.

In partnership with Barnaby Shepard and Carl Austin I have been involved in an extensive rebuild. We have replaced twenty three planks, twenty frames, stringers, deck and wheelhouse and completed an interior refit.
