First boat out of the new pole barn. A MAT 1180. Bottom paint stripped, hull long boarded, faired foils, new boot strip and a bunch more. Materials were tough to get so it took a bit longer then expected but I’m happy with the results.

Just finished up this Star. The finish was crazed throughout the entire boat. It had to be completely stripped to the laminate. The keel, skeg and rudder were also redone.

Recently finished a major repair on this j70 that got damaged during the worlds in England last year. Tough spot to repair with tight access on the inside.

We were able to repair and paint 6 IC-24s in 4 weeks for St. Thomas Sailing Center. It was all a puzzle - from getting the materials and tools down there, to repairing and fairing hulls that got crushed when Maria and Irma blew them off their trailers. And we got it done inside a rented wedding tent in a bulk storage facility’s yard. The conditions were tough, 85 degree heat with 90% humidity, working with generator power, but it was worth it to see the boats all finished and ready to race again. So thankful for the help of Forrest Hardy, absolutely wouldn’t have been possible without him. Get down there and check it out - the resiliency and beauty of the island are unforgettable (and they have power now!).
