A well built
boat that receives proper maintenance from her owner can last a very
long time. This is particularly true of wooden boats as evidenced by
the number of these boats that are still serving their owners well after
30, 40, and even 50 plus years.
An advantage
of boats constructed from wood is that if one or more of the structural
components requires attention, (a plank or frame, for instance) these
can be repaired or replaced as needed. In theory, a wooden boat can
go on forever for this very reason.
We
work closely with our customers to ensure their boats are properly maintained
and seaworthy. This can be as simple as providing annual systems checks
and painting or as comprehensive as a keel-up restoration. We also work
with our customers to develop an ongoing maintenance/repair schedule
with the mutual goal of catching and addressing relatively minor issues
before they become bigger problems. All restoration and repair work
that we do is available on a time and materials basis and you'll be
happy to know that we have some of the most cost effective yard rates
in Maine.
We welcome
the opportunity to care for your boat, whether it involves regular maintenance,
repair or a complete restoration. Please feel free to contact
us to discuss your specific requirements.
