tristar boats...who are we?
|
|
We are a family business based in the East Midlands and between us we have many years of design and construction experience in making individual canal boats of all shapes and sizes. We are all boat enthusiasts, we all live on boats, some of us build boats in our spare time, some of us row for fun and two of us travel to work by kayak.
Jeremy has been building boats for 19 years. His background in violin repair and scenery for TV and film has given his the essential ability to embrace different ideas while attending to detail. Michelle has been designing and building boats for 10 years and is responsible for many aspects of the business from planning to prototype building to financial management. Matt is a skilled boat painter, recognised across Europe for his high gloss finish! He is the fastest worker we have ever known and is multi-talented in all aspects of boat construction. Paul is a Master Carpenter and fearless wild camper who has worked on many national trust properties, including the most expensive replica gates ever made. He loves to build boats of all sizes from one-sheet canoes to the Dutch Barges. He's good for problem solving. Dave is our most qualified carpenter. He has many years experience in pattern cutting and construction. He's been working on some beautiful marquetry for us and he's a professional nu-country singer! Tom is an agronomist and boat painter, he's skillful with a brush and careful with a sander. He brings calmness and humour. Ryan is our youngest and most sensible member bringing lots of engineering and electrical expertise. He's our spotter and ideas man. Wendy is our most organised member, she has coaxed order from disorder and keeps things running smoothly. |
WHAT DO WE DO?
We make beautiful bespoke boats for the inland waterways. This could be a narrowboat, a Dutch barge or a wide-beam boat.
All of our boats are made to order for the customers. We like to work with local businesses for example the steelwork can come from Soar Valley Steel Boats who are based in the same boatyard.
