Maylands Amateur Boat Builders Yard

20170216-maylands-amateur-boat-builders-yard-2Maylands Amateur Boat Builders Yard this morning, on the banks of the Swan river in Maylands. This is a boat yard full of boats in various states of repair/disrepair….their owners working on them as time and money allow. Some boats look like they have been awaiting attention on dry land for a very long time. Above a wooden motor boat named “Pantomime” in need of some TLC.

Access via a wonderful homemade set of rusty steel ladders made of various lengths of steel welded together. There was a “danger – no access” sign on the ladders….apparently her owner has not about much lately.

    1. That’s lovely to hear, there’s such a variety of boats in the yard, some look like they haven’t been touched in years, others are slowly being lovingly restored (guess it’s an expensive hobby). It’s a great place to paint and wander around
