Traditional craftsmanship for classic and wooden vessels
Restoincip provides a full range of restoration and refit services for classic sail and motor vessels at our Commercial Wharf shipyard in Newport, Rhode Island. Our shipwrights combine traditional methods with modern materials where appropriate, always prioritising authenticity and longevity.
Wooden hulls require periodic structural attention as frames, planks, and fastenings age. Our structural team handles everything from localized frame sistering to complete reframing and replanking programmes.
Newport's summer sun demands the finest varnish systems. We apply Awlwood Plus and traditional spar varnish in controlled environments within our covered sheds, achieving mirror finishes that last multiple seasons with proper maintenance.
From Awlgrip topsides to traditional oil-based enamel below the waterline, our paint department delivers durable, beautiful finishes matched to your vessel's original colour scheme or a new custom palette.
Our joiners replicate original cabinetry and create custom pieces that complement your boat's period and design lineage. All work is executed in marine-grade hardwoods with traditional joinery techniques.
We modernise electrical, plumbing, and propulsion systems with minimal visual impact. Upgrades are concealed within existing joinery wherever possible to preserve the classic character of your vessel.
