A hull tells you what the last yard did to it.
Most of what we correct in the spring is somebody else’s shortcut from the autumn — wrap that trapped moisture, a barrier coat rolled over a wet bottom, blocking that put the load in the wrong place. We would rather show you than sell you.
Yard services
What the yard does.
Everything below happens here, with our own people. Nothing is sent out.
Sprayed in a filtered booth, not tented in the open yard.
Blocked to the builder’s hard points, with the cradle photographed on lay-up.
A written checklist you keep, not a verbal assurance at the dock.
Diesel service and repower, with the old readings recorded before we start.

Walk the hull with you
Moisture readings taken together, so the work list is agreed before it is priced.

The work list
