Campbeltown Shipyard: A New Dimension

This brochure for Campbeltown Ship Yard came to us via Bobby Wylie, a former boat designer at the yard. We are very grateful to him for this great resource, showing us specifications for all the Campbeltown boats available at the time, from the 26.9 metre stern trawler to the highly acclaimed 80’s and 90’s. The scans leave a little to be desired but we were mindful that we didn’t want to damage Bobby’s original copy of this publication. That said, the information is all here now for everyone to access, which is the important thing. We think this was published circa 1981.

As well as the noteworthiness of the boat designs it’s also worth noting Art Bowbeer’s excellent, second cutaway illustration of the yard. (You can view the first here).
