Green Rival

A one off built by Latham’s boatyard in 1992 for the once owner of Green Island in Poole harbour

Green Rival is built with laminated ring frames and planked with pine strip planking with two diagonal veneers. She has a hydralic lifting keel with is ideal for the shallow harbour.

She has come back to us due to some rotten areas in the plywood subdeck. The entire deck has been removed, a 20ft section of beam shelf has been replaced and a new plywood subdeck has been fitted and epoxy glass sheathed over. She will now have a new teak sweped deck with varnished covering boards and margins.

 

Tortoise

X One design No 165

Tortoise has come in for the topsides to be epoxied. We have removed the paint back to bare wood and raked out the seams. We will leave the hull to dry out for a few months and then fill the seams with epoxy filler, Coat the hull with epoxy and then apply a faring compound. Sand the hull fare and apply epoxy primer and then the top coat.
