My name is Julian Burn. I am a professional wooden boatbuilder and boatbuilding teacher.
I set up Sail & Oar in 1988.

Welcome     Bienvenue     Willkommen!     Benvenuto!

My business is to enable you to build, buy or restore the boat which best suits your needs.

Below are the four sides of the business:

  • On one of my BUILD-A-BOAT COURSES you can build the boat you want yourself. Then take it away on your car top or trailer.

  • My ADVICELINE gets you telephone advice and help about anything to do with boats and boating; i.e. buying or building a boat, whether a particular boat will do what you want, using it and maintaining its value.

  • BUILT TO ORDER   I can build for you any wooden boat up to 26ft (8m.).  I have a large number of boat plans on file, and many more to choose from in designers` catalogues and books.

  • RESTORATION   I can repair or completely restore for you any classic small craft.
    But you may intend to repair or restore a wooden boat yourself?   That`s really satisfying, so do try the RESTORATION page, especially if you are just thinking about it. The page contains very important tips to save you money and speed things up

There are also pages for you to check out my BIOGRAPHY (`Does he know his stuff?`), see what`s happening in my WORKSHOP, or simply to enjoy things ON THE WATER.
Please use the ENQUIRY FORM  to take your interest further, or if you would be so kind, to comment on this website.

"I have finished Wee Rob and it`s had its first sail. ...I`m pleased with the outcome and I`ve achieved a far better result than I had hoped for. ... Thanks for your advice along the way. I`m already thinking of a next project..."
