Ring Net Heritage Trust Supported by National Historic Ships UK
Garvel Road, Tarbert, Strathclyde, UK
Of the west coast ring net boats, very few survive, at this moment we believe Shemaron is the only single purpose ring net boat, rigged to look as such, and not altered in any way. She was built by Weatherhead and Sons of Cockenzie and is in every way a typical ring net boat. She was built to be fast and maneuverable, as low in the water as possible and with low gunnels to be able to handle the nets. Her classic shape and distinctive sheer are recognised and appreciated wherever she ventures.
The Ring Net Heritage Trust was established on 1st June 2015, to protect and promote the ring net heritage. We are currently renovating the ex-ring net boat Shemaron.
In 2016 ownership of the skiff Wee Dooker was transferred to the trust. Restorative work was carried out over the winter of 2016/17. Wee Dooker is currently in Tarbert Harbour.
