Boat Shaped Shelf Units & Wine Racks
Our boat shaped shelf units are made in two designs(standard and traditional dinghy style), each with different sizes -plus, uniquely, they have a lighting option with several different colours and settings!!
STANDARD STYLE BOAT SHELF UNIT
The standard sizes are -
1m, 75cm and 50cm high.
We have been making these unique hand made shelf units for over 12 years now. They are our basic style, free standing model which can be easily wall mounted.
Surprisingly sturdy with the shelves supported on three sides and a fourth support under the front of it. We have used one of these for 7 years in the workshop for tools and general storage and it is still going strong. They can be beefed up a bit if you want it stronger.
These unique shelf units are built to order.
They are hand cut and built. You choose your size, lights or no lights which we finish as standard in a water based gloss varnish all round.
The lighting strip USB 5v so it doesn't get hot and is positioned as a back light with multicolour options, dimmer, flash, fade etc with remote control. Choose the colour you want, how bright and enjoy.
We can finish yours with one colour outside/inside and varnished unpainted areas for a little extra.

There are three options and they are all hand-crafted knot board, made in the UK from recylcled plywood and wood. It could be a unique addition to any collection. Perfect for those interested in sailing or nautical history, this piece is sure to be a conversation starter.
There are seven of the more commonly used knots on the board -
Figure Eight
Slip Knot
Bowline
Clove Hitch
Sheet Bend
Reef Knot
Carrick Bend
However, I have a total of 16 that I use for these and other boards so I can customise this item if you wish. Just contact us fot the list and choose your 7 knots.
You can choose the outside hull colour too. Use the drop down menu for this. The inside colour is white or cream.
Also included is an information sheet for the knots on the board and what they are used for.

The knot board is mounted in a model of the full size dinghy from one of my designs, the Rye Bay. Measuring around 310mm high x 150mm wide x 80mm deep it can stand on its end or sit on its base as shown in the pictures. The outside hull colour is black as standard but white, red, blue, green and grey are options.

Pictures show two knots, my favourites, but there are 16 knots, bends or hitches to choose from which are mounted with basic information about it laser engraved on a plaque. They also come with a more detailed information sheet which includes how to tie the knot and its uses.
Bends, commonly used to join two ropes, use one blue and one white.
The oak board is treated with a non solvent varnish and comes with a small support piece and some glue to allow it to stand alone or it could be wall mounted.
Two sizes 200mm high and 95mm wide or 300mm high and 145mm wide and both around 25mm thick though sizes may vary a little as hand made. Stock levels show the bas made up but will be completed to order when we know which knot yo want.
