The Slipway Co-operative are skilled shipwrights and carpenters producing the finest results in restoration, repair and new-build of all kinds and sizes of wooden craft. The Co-operative works on boats of both traditional and modern wood/composite construction, such as their production 14’ Bristol Jolly Boat. Their undercover workshop takes craft up to 50’, whilst longer vessels can be worked on afloat.
The Slipway Co-operative is the longest standing tenant at Underfall - in fact they re-built the historic slipway cradle during the restoration - and they manage the slipping of vessels today on behalf of the yard.
