RB Boatbuilding Ltd is a traditional business based at Bristol's historic Underfall Yard.
The company is dedicated to the re-creation and restoration of classic, 19th century, wooden working boats; notably the fast and seaworthy Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter, widely considered to be among the best sailing boats ever built.
Whether you wish to commission a design for a new and unique vessel or to replicate a historic vessel, we can build you a new craft based on the lines of the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutters; vessels which have earned an enviable reputation for seaworthiness and performance.
We build new boats, from the fine clinker (lapstrake) dinghy or Cornish Pilot Gig, to the powerfully built Pilot Cutter, using traditional craftsmanship and materials of the highest quality.
We can build you a bespoke classic wooden sailing boat for the price of a production boat; creating a sound investment and a unique source of pride.
