The fellas up at North Country Boatworks are keeping busy and keeping their customers happy by sinking some quality silicon bronze fasteners in those planks. What projects do you have this winter? We'd love to see some photos in the comments.

We just added solid silicon bronze serrated hex fl**ge nuts to our shelves here at Fair Wind. Manufactured specially for us, you won't find these elsewhere. The "one-way" serration will lock these nuts on tight, preventing them from backing off and negating the need for a flat or lock washer.

Janice Wheeler is out there living her best wooden boat life, and with wooden boat life comes maintenance of course.

I highly recommend checking out her blog for soem very well written musings on the wooden boat lifestyle.
