George Hatcher and other Margate Boat Builders


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

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.
