Another boat leaves Ben Harris & Co – WHIFFLER, a Wootton Bridge 14-foot day-sailer built on the Isle of Wight in 2000, came to the workshop earlier in 2021 and has just been handed over, after a complete restoration, back to her owner for him to enjoy with his grandchildren. 

Traditional boatbuilders Ben Harris & Co steamed new oak frames, replacing those that had rotted over time from freshwater lying in the hull.  Boatbuilders at Ben Harris & Co re-varnished her, repaired some of the teak decking and re-rigged her.
