Going back to the late 1800s, Edwin Stone became renowned for making the best willow baskets and crab pots for local fishermen. Edwin’s son, James, went on to complete an apprenticeship as a shipwright at the legendary Edgar Cove boatyard in Salcombe.

Before starting his yard in Salcombe, Edgar Cove had worked at Fife’s yard in Fairlie during the period when they built the first of Sir Thomas Lipton’s “Shamrock” Challengers for the America’s Cup. Covering a span of sixty years, three members of the Stone family learnt their trade at Edgar Cove.
