Worth knowing

Wootton Bridge Industries Ltd.; cover, cost and conditions

Wootton Bridge Industries was a boatbuilder in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, building traditional dinghies and small craft. A Devon Potter from 2000 shows the method: clinker planked in mahogany over steam bent oak ribs, fastened with copper nails and roves, with a galvanised steel centreplate, a teak foredeck and a gunter rig with tan sails. Model names borrow from English places and rivers, Medina, Thames, Dartmouth, Devon, and from Mediterranean islands such as Ibiza and Mallorca.

Our records list ten Wootton Bridge models: six sailing boats and four motorboats. All but two start in 1997; the Neptune 20 belongs to build years 1972 to 1979 and the Nerissa begins in 2001. Most lines run to 2008, while the Chica and Kilderkin stop in 2004. The smallest boats are the Chica and Kilderkin at 2.44 metres each, the largest is the 6.32 metre Neptune 20, just ahead of the 6.1 metre Nerissa. In between sit the Thames and Mallorca at 3.04 metres, the Ibiza and Medina at 3.66, the Devon Potter at 4.44 and the Dartmouth Launch at 4.75.

Clinker wooden boats like the Devon Potter want to stay damp enough that the planks keep tight, yet dry enough that rot never starts: a well ventilated tarpaulin, a varnish touch up each spring and a check of the copper fastenings go a long way. Small boats of this size usually live on a launching trolley or road trailer and go in at a slipway, which makes them ideal for estuaries and sheltered harbours.
