The Owner bought her in to us for the hull to be striped and re-varnished and for the deck to be re-varnished. We removed all the chrome fittings and heat gunned the varnish from the hull, sanded the hull to remove all traces of the varnish, replaced dowels that had fallen out and then applied two coats of oil based stain. once dry we applied 8 coats of Epifanes PP varnish and 6 coats of Epifanes two pack gloss. The deck was rubbed and two coats of Epifanes single pack gloss applied

Westons Isle

Latham Built Launch

The new owner bought her to us for new decks, covering boards, sole boards and new engine installation. She was built as a purpose built bate dragging boat for Poole harbour so has had quite a hard life, but the Iroko planking has stood the test and is in perfect condition. The laminated stem will need some attention though.

 

Drinkerbell. 

Huntress

Winter maintenance comprising of, painting topsides, cabinsides and inside the cabin. Some re-design and alterations.

 

Puffin II  

built in 1897

Puffin broke her mooring in the bad weather last season and came in this winter for repairs. Her bulwark was damaged and needs to be refastened and have a new Iroko capping. The AWL GRIP paint work then had to be matched. Her bowsprit was damaged and needed repairs and a new stainless steel cranes iron was made and fitted. Her main mast also suffered from the scarph joints failing so new sections of Douglas fir were scarphed in and the mast re-varnished. Her garboard seams were raked out and re-caulked.

 

Negus.

35ft buchanan

Negus came in this winter for some survey work as well as general maintenance. There is some rot in the cockpit which was picked up in her purchase survey as well as skin fitting and sea cock replacement, engraving piece in the planking, removal of the fuel tank and having a section cut away and welded up. Whilst the fuel tank was out we removed a keel bolt for inspection and found some significant wasting of the bolt resulting in the eight bolts needing replacement.

 

Castello

A Brownsea Island Ferry Built In 1965

Castello came in for her annual winter re-fit. She is having all her paint work repainted inside and out this year. The antifouling is being removed back to bare wood as there is such a build up it is starting to fall of in places. She is also having a new engine which is being fitted by engineers which are located on site here at the yard.
