Colin Henwood and his small team of dedicated craftsmen have been restoring and maintaining traditional Thames boats large and small for nearly 25 years, as well as using time honoured methods and techniques to design and build new boats.

Craft restored by Henwood and Dean have won many prestigious awards and the new electric launch Polly won Colin Henwood the Best Professional Boatbuilder Award. Henwood & Dean have exhibited at all of the major British specialist wooden boat shows as well as in Finland and France, and many boats restored by the Company have been featured in Thames-based events and on television.

Henwood and Dean pride themselves on producing the highest quality work in traditional wooden boat restoration and maintenance and are able to provide all of the essential follow up services needed to keep these historic and classic craft in first class condition.
