  Little chips and dings Most of the professional yacht maintenance companies we are familiar with, would be happy to take a look and give you an estimate of what it will cost to have the work done right. We can do part of the job, for example the compounding/polishing and will gladly help you choose the best wax to finish the job yourself.

What about those little chips and dings in the gelcoat?

Many books have been written on fiberglass repair and it isn't the intent of this article to cover the subject in any depth but many small repairs are well within the reach of a fairly skilled do-it-yourselfer. Like anything else though, if you have never done it before, "consult an expert."

I've been building and repairing in fiberglass since I was 14 and while the first wooden boat I glassed was water tight and lasted a good many years, it was far from pretty. The small investment you lay out for expert repair now will pay big dividends when your boat sells at the price you want.  ¶ 7:23 PM 0 comments

  Deer Island peapod On calm days - even if the skies are mackerel colored, rather than cobalt blue - Mohr can often be seen on Coos Bay or on Eel, Tenmile or Tahkenitch lakes in an unusual 15-foot wooden boat he had custom-made by the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Washington.

It's called a Deer Island peapod (its symmetrical shape resembles a bean pod) and is based upon a Maine lobster boat. Constructed of red cedar, mahogany, oak and fir, the boat can be powered by one or two oarsmen, a sail, or an electric motor.  ¶ 12:55 AM 0 comments
