More on the wooden boats of Hout Bay


It goes without saying,that Hout Bays existance was always to do with fishing,thats why the harbour was built.Hout Bay is the closest harbour to Cape Point about an hour away under motor? Cape Point and its ocean offshore, is a wonderfull fishing ground and supports many fishing boat crews.Hout Bays fleet have in the past all been made from wood but this is changing now,the boats are smaller,around 50 feet long and moulded in GRP but we still have thirty to fifty timber built boats using the harbour at anyone time,its the busiest fishing harbour in the Western Cape.
