Caulking is one of the fundamental operations in the construction and restoration of wooden boats. It consists of making plank seams and deck joints watertight by driving compressible material such as oakum or caulking cotton into the seams.
This traditional technique has been used for centuries on classic yachts, launches, workboats and wooden sailing vessels. Properly executed caulking allows the timber to move naturally while maintaining watertight integrity.
Our range includes oakum, caulking cotton, tarred twine, caulking irons, mallets and specialist tools used in traditional boatbuilding and maritime heritage restoration.
The choice of caulking material depends on timber species, seam width and the construction method of the vessel.
