Clinker hulls date back to Viking times. They are a classic design born from a need to fashion complex hull shapes from stiff wooden planks.

Traditional wooden clinker hulls, however, can be difficult to maintain. Ironically, they have to be kept wet to ensure they remain dry.

Our clinker hulls are built using more modern materials to ensure minimum hull upkeep whilst retaining the beautiful traditional design.
