| Introduction It would give me the greatest pleasure to build you a new wooden Osprey. The craft of building racing dinghies is very close to my heart and is more a way of life than a job. I have tried to find the best materials and methods to produce a boat that is stiff, light and considering the longevity of the boat, at a price that does not break the bank. The hull is constructed with resin and the use of additional structural resin coatings greatly reduces maintenance costs and prolongs competitive racing life for years to come. If I can be of any help or you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. |
