New England Shipyard, LLC, founded in October of 1996, specializes in the construction, repair, restoration, and maintenance of both traditional and modern wooden vessels of any size and vintage. We have the tools and expertise to build both sawn and steam-bent plank-on-frame, as well as strip-planked, and cold-molded vessels to 100'+.

Additionally, we specialize in difficult repairs such as total keel, stem, frame and transom replacements. We are equipped to service the more common deck, hull and superstructure repairs that all vessels may occasionally require as they age or are involved in accidents. We also offer traditional caulking services for plank-on-frame construction, and both solid and hollow wood spar construction and repair.

Besides structural repairs, New England Shipyard is fully capable of producing interior and exterior joiner work to meet your most exacting requirements. From hatches, combings and grates, to cabinets, lockers, tables and counter tops, New England Shipyard offers superb craftsmanship in both solid wood and plywood.

Although wood is our primary focus, New England Shipyard is experienced in both structural and cosmetic repairs in solid and cored Fiberglass construction using polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resins in conjunction with various substrates.
