New Wooden Boats
A & R Way boatbuilding can build new wooden boats in sizes from small rowing dinghies and tenders up to cruising yachts or motor boats of 50ft.
We build using any wood technique:
- Traditional Clinker Construction
- Carvel planking
- Epoxy strip planking
- Cold moulded veneers
- Glued plywood
Bespoke Craftsmanship for Larger Vessels
Every larger vessel we build is a one-off project tailored entirely to your vision—whether adapted from a classic heritage plan or crafted directly from a naval architect's drawing board. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your ideas and bring your project to life.
Our Small Boat Range
Alongside custom builds, we offer a dedicated range of standard designs up to 20 feet, including traditional sailing boats, tenders, and dinghies. We draw deep inspiration from the local West of Scotland fishing skiffs of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and many of our small craft reflect the proven sea-keeping qualities of these historic working boats.
Custom Designs & Authentic Replicas
Whether you come to us with plans from a contemporary naval architect, a classic historic design, or a concept for us to draw from scratch, we have the experience to build it. We also specialize in faithful, historic replica builds, reconstructing classic craft with exact traditional methods
