Tyler Boat Co. Ltd. (UK)

Active: 1946 – 1980

Founded by Edward Tyler, originally an English house builder. By 1946, Tyler had begun using fiberglass molds in the production of concrete panels for prefabricated houses and also experimented with various other uses for the new material including the waterproofing of boat decks. Some time later he founded the Tyler Boat Company, which became one of best known builders of fiberglass yachts in the world for many years.

Besides its own line, the company molded many hulls on contract to be finished by other yards around the world. For example, during the '60's and 70's, due to the high demand for Trintilla yachts, and through the relationship with Van de Stadt, the Anne Dever shipyard in The Netherlands contacted Tyler in England to produce polyester Trintella hulls.

(This note from Jan Dirks:

"When at a point the production run of a particular model had ended, Tyler, who still had the molds, offered these to amateur builders. One could buy a SEACRACKER, OHLSON 38, REBEL 41, all the way up to the OCEAN 60, in various stages of completion." This is how Dirks built his own SEACRACKER.)
