Domeyer Scull Boats

April 30th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in 123triad

DSB manufactures one-man duck hunting boats better known as a scull boat. Scull boats are propelled by an oar which extends through the transom of the boat. In a sculling motion the operator propels this low profile boat while lying down, concealing the movement of the oar. This provides a unique opportunity to access birds in open water.Their goal is to maintain the tradition of sculling and family heritage while providing the best quality scull boats on the market. Sculling has been in the Domeyer family for over four generations. They have all enjoyed the unique opportunities for water fowling that sculling provides and take great pride in that heritage.They are committed to provide customers with support and information on sculling techniques and provide them with the knowledge and tools to become successful scullers.

Their scull boats are constructed in a very unique fashion to maintain the original wood design.Domeyer Scull Boats are built on the heritage of the original designer, Henry Heinie Domeyer. Designing scull boats since 1918, Henry helped bring scull boat design where it is today. Each boat is constructed by hand of plies of mat and woven roving fiberglass cloth strengthened by core mat ribbing. This lay up process produces a composite with maximum strength at a reduced weight.Their process is unique to the industry and sets the boat apart from other builders.With a focus on blending proven tradition and new technology, Domeyer Scull Boats created this fiberglass vessel with the same humboldt-style designbut half the weightof its wooden counterpart.

Shetland Boats

April 27th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in 123triad

Shetland Boats was founded in 1968, starting at Threestokes Marina in London with a simple phone call. It soon grew and required more space and dedication so Shetland set up full production between two sites at Burnham on Crouch and Southminster; and this was then the start of the Shetland boats.After rapidly outgrowing the two locations a new site was purchased in Stanton, Suffolk. Once settled in Stanton, Shetland grew ever more and was manufacturing and delivering up to 12 boats a day, up to 60 in one week.Shetlands main objective in 1968 was to produce safe and reliable family performance cruisers at no nonsense prices, this is still the objective today and Shetland stands by this belief.

Shetland family cruisers have had a consistent appeal to thousands who enjoy life afloat as the only acceptable family pastime providing a rewarding alternative to pressures of daily work life. For 40 years Shetland has been building boats with pride and providing each new owner with years of memories and ultimate enjoyment on the water. Over the past 40 years they have produced over 45,000 boats ranging from 4 metres to 9 metres and covering every corner of the world and every aspect of boating.Over the last 40 years few boat companies have been able to maintain the confidence of the boat buying public with the same success as Shetland Boats and with a Shetland in the family.
