HISTORY OF THE KEYHAVEN SCOW

We are builders of the popular KEYHAVEN SCOW sailing dinghy in GRP and offer a repair facility for all the many different regional scow variations in timber or GRP construction

The Keyhaven Scow was first moulded in 1980 and we are continually updating them as the years pass. Originally we wished to build a wooden boat but good seasoned timber was, as now, hard to come by so the obvious solution was to build a moulded resinglass version, retaining the basic charm of traditional types. Because of problems in taking a mould off a tree-wood plug, the Mark ll used hardboard and filler with chines made to look like clinker. On finished boats, deck mouldings incorporated gunwales, joining the hull with a neat 'biscuit lid' fit. Keels are moulded, as is the centreplate box.

Having started with wooden seats, masts and spars, a metal centreplate, fixed rudder and inflatable buouyancy bags, the latest boats incorporate aluminium spars, built-in bouyancy, GRP seats, wooden centreplates and 'state-of-the-art' lifting rudders.

The Scow is a dream boat for all the family - ideal for racing, pottering, using as a tender or to go fishing in - the only problem seems to be getting each member of the family to wait their turn!

Our newest Scows are very popular so it is well worth putting in your order early so that you may choose your livery and get ready for the anticipated excitement to come.
