This is a good read, Margate Boat builders by Frank Spain from the Margate Historical Society archive. Some people may even remember George Hatcher.

I remember George when he built the pirates pride ran out of rooves for the nails and used 1p coins we kidded him he could be arrested for defacing the Queens currency it took a few pints before he forgave us, Ron Blay.
My very first boat was built by George. It was very old when I had it and used to leak every spring until it had 'taken up'. A fine little day boat sadly missed.
