Around the Boatyards: The Wooden Boat Shop at Sorrento 

The Wooden Boat Shop in Sorrento Victoria is the largest wooden boatbuilding and service yard in Australia. Ian Smith from Smithy's Boatshed Channel visited there recently and had a chat with boatbuilder and General Manager Wayne Parr and had a look at the various wooden boats under construction there, from traditional carvel planked construction to modern laminated wood construction. The Wooden Boat Shop is also the home of Victoria's Couta boats, building, restoring and maintaining a significant proportion of the fleet.
