Wonderful wooden boats




















What wonderful wooden boats!
You can almost smell the varnish as you run your fingers over the glowing wood!
These are Seaview OD (one design) dinghies.  Your find most of them in and arround Seaview on the Isle of Wight.
T he boats are built by the local family firm of V A Warren & Son.  See one of their workshops below.
There are about 200 now in existence, and as many as 198 sailed past the local Sea View Yacht Club for the class’s 75th aniversary.
The class was founded in 1931.
