This
page details our factory in Rochdale and covers our
manufacturing and build departments.
Although not generally associated with the manufacture of high
quality yachts, Rochdale is in the heart of the North West of
England with its tradition of manufacturing. Liverpool is only a
short drive away with all its rich maritime traditions. Some of
the worlds most famous ships such as the Aircraft Carrier "Ark
Royal" and R.M.S "Windsor Castle" were built at Cammel Lairds on
Merseyside (including the first steel ship built in 1858 the "Ma
Roberts" which took Dr Livingstone to his Zambezi expedition in
Africa!).
We
feel we are carrying on the tradition, albeit on a smaller
scale, of boat building in the North West of England!
We have added this page as we feel it represents a true
differentiator of us as a Company.
The album below deals with
our four main departments:
Laminating
and build
Woodworking
Metalworking and
Blocks
The high quality Tufnol blocks we manufacture are not only used
on our boats but also sold in vast numbers for other
applications.
We own our premises and
as a result we have invested greatly in its fabric and
manufacturing capability. We pride our selves in making just
about ALL the parts for all our boats in house, as this series
of pages reveals.
We manufacture the hulls, woodwork, blocks, trailers etc.
All MADE IN
THE UNITED KINGDOM.
