THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD "ARGO SHIP"
Welcome to REPPOS BOATBUILDERSFor decades we established a respectful knowledge about the construction of wooden boats! That armed us with respect, love dedication and research that made us the 'hands' that have built ARGO. This famous ancient ship globally known, has sailed again after 3,500 years.
The initiative for its creation belongs to the Municipality of Volos. The whole project started in 2004 as a vision but also under the auspices of the Naval Archeology Research Program of the 'NAYDOMOS' Institute, with Admiral Kourtis as Admiral and Captain of the ship. Under the scientific guidance of the 'NAYDOMOS' father and son - Yannis and Nikos Reppos - managed to 'bring back to life' the most known ship of the world! ARGO."We listen respectfully "the whispering of the ancient shipbuilders and guessed their technique." Our shipbuilding knowledge in Traditional Shipbuilding begins in 1958. We count almost 60 years in the construction of traditional and modern More than 1500 vessels of all types (traditional and modern, professional and recreational) have been built here, from 3 to 28.5 meters. We had also repaired, hundreds of boats. They did the unbelievable! We build from scratch the most known ancient boat in the history of our planet! The reconstruction took place at Pefkakia, in Volos; the same area where according to the legend, the ancient Argo was constructed in ancient time, by the shipbuilder and former paddle man Nikolaos Reppos "Our 'relationship ' with the sea and boat creation goes way back. When Giannis Reppos (the father) started to build traditional boats in 1958. Through decades he was passing his knowledge of Traditional Shipbuilding to his son Nikolaos. A professional paddle man who won with the National Hellenic Team 2 third place medals in Balkan Games, Two gold national medals and who grew up, watching his father, carving the wood, and creating 'new born' boats In 60 years, REPPOS BOATYARD construct more than 1500 vessels of all types (traditional and modern boats professional and recreational), from 3 to 28.5 meters.
