Scottish Fisheries Museum

Since 2015 Leonardo Bortolami has coordinated the activities of the Scottish Fisheries Museum’s boatyard. The engagements in which he is involved are the development of the boat building activities such as restorations, ordinary maintenance and new buildings. The boatyard is now open not only to the museum’s boat but also to private restorations and building projects.

Thanks to the previous experiences and to the collaboration with the curatorial office and with archaeologic company, the boatyard can offer high quality standards for the whole restoration process.

Leonardo’s most common activities are:

historic vessel restorations and repairs;
coordination of the staff, volunteers and trainees at the boatyard;
training of young people with theoretical and hands-on activities;
activities of optimization and management of the working spaces and health & safety aspects;
consultation for the maintenance and the restoration of Reaper, sailing Fifie flagship of the museum
