Paul Gartside
For his Workboat design, Paul Gartside began with lines he’d taken from an inboard lapstrake utility boat he’d known in his 1960s youth in Cornwall, England.
The idea for this launch followed designer Paul Gartside from his 1960s youth in a Cornwall boatyard, through his eventual move to the West Coast of Canada and then to the United States. Painted dark blue with a gray interior, the boat in his memory is of lapstrake construction. An air-cooled Lister diesel furnishes slow-turning, reliable power.
