The consultancy for the restoration and refitting of wooden boats 

The purchase and the following restoration of a wooden boat is a challenging task. Most of the times, the real condition of the boat became evident just once the works are begun. This can affect the budget and the overall success of the project.
Therefore, it is extremely important to ask for a technical advice to an expert, who can identify in advance the main problems, minimising the risk of increase in the costs and of the duration of the restoration.
An assessment could be useful both before the purchase of a boat and preceding the start of the maintenance works. In addition, it is useful for planning the works accordingly to the age and the technical features of the boat.
The knowledge of the materials and the boat building techniques is essential for understanding the original fabric and its problems. A correct approach to the restoration process should include the study of the previous two aspects. This will ensure that the correct restoration process is used for the boat.
