NYLET 92 Years. Vintage yacht restoration service, no longer available due to retirement of our restorer Chris.

I have a note from Chris, he thanks all his many customers and friends during these past decades but it is now time to retire gracefully and concetrate on finishing his own yachts which have received scant attention these past few years. He is now in his mid 80s and he looks forward to attending to his hobbies at a more leisurely pace.

Useful tips for the beginner thinking of starting a restoration project. The B9 "how to" illustrated colour booklet, written by Chris Hayward, on restoring older timber yachts, gaffers etc. Available in a pdf file as well as conventional paper, see 'booklets' (section A) in our price list.
