DIY Repairs & Boat Building

Without doubt, one of the most popular sections in the Library, we are very proud of the considerable volume of work the F&B team has produced over the years, and happy to have assisted, guided, or hopefully inspired fellow enthusiasts and boat owners to go forth and re-build that transom, make that GRP icebox themselves, or even tackle a DIY plate boat building project.

One thing is quite certain – the SEA Library’s DIY section will continue to grow in the months ahead!
