Any woodie owners want to chip in for somewhere to maintain our beloved  craft as choices are getting fewer.

Excellent idea Doug, wish I was fit enough to sign up.

Not really a boatyard is it? Its a bit more liker a shed adjacent to the river where he moulded sailing dinghies, particularly in the 60s/70s - and perhaps later?

Is that serious suggestion you are making ?

Guide price is £160-180k  The reality of an auction is that it could be double.

What is a site like this actually worth ?

Just like the dilapidated St Olaves one did a few months ago. Over double auction pricing

[marshman]

There is a great difference here as there is no access from the river to the shed as there is a bloomin' great flood bank in the way - you would physically have to lift boats over the flood bank if I remember rightly.

It a long time since I have been down to the Beauchamp Arms!!!

I'm pretty sure there is a slip there that can access the workshop.

If you look to the right of the picture further down page, there's a slipway that points straight to the door the workshop

[marshman]

No - you are right there is a slip. I remember sailing the Silver Streaks from it but to be fair that was well over 50 years ago.

Not sure though if its a proper slip or merely a dinghy slip - not sure if Paul Wright ever worked on full sized boats but someone will come along soon and put me straight I expect.

[Victoryv]

I wouldn't want to be left out!

That sounds incredibly cheap for what it is.

According to a local source, a well-known local businessman who has a property nearby.

We will soon know, if it all gets painted a bright and gaudy colour!
