New decks for Kotic



Kotic is a lovely little gaff cutter that we have done quite a bit of work to over the years. Now she is being fitted out with some new decking. We are installing yellow cedar decks. This will be the third deck we have done in yellow cedar. The first one was the Duen over ten years ago. Those decks look as fresh as the day we installed them. The yellow cedar is very tough, tougher than most people think, and the price is right. As teak soars to $32 a board foot we have to look for these kinds of alternatives. We will have more pictures soon.

Teak blocks


Jean has built these teak blocks. Real blocks are hard to find and the quality of the ones we have found are not so good. So Jean built these. Nice hey!
Oh and the nickles are fake;)

Bristol chanel cutter



Here we re-built a hatch for a customer. The end result is something that we are pleased with.
