Resident shipwright, Dave Sharp is now working out of Richmond Boat Builders, a workshop originally built in 1932 by Japanese Canadian boatbuilder Saeji Kishi.

His current project is the repair and maintenance of the Silver Ann - built in 1968-69 by Sadajiro Asari - the last wooden gillnetter to be built in this workshop. Catch Dave in action during weekdays to see his latest project.
