Watch an Irish Shipwright revive a traditional 14ft Clinker Punt EP_01

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

In this episode we work alongside my uncle Peter, an experienced shipwright who has been building and repairing boats his whole life. Here we are working on a traditional 14ft clinker punt which was built sometime in 70's. This traditional wooden boat is revived by the Armstrongs and Peter allowing it to live on for many more years.
