Another of the big jobs for this spring was the complete replacement of the teak deck on this large Sparkman and Stephens designed Dufour yacht. Stones Marine Timber sourced quarter sawn teak of a quality rarely seen these days - a joy to work with. It will wear and age beautifully. To discuss teak deck replacement, call Tim 07795 - 118651
All the many elements of this yawl came together in early April when she was launched - initially in Bristol then 'Officially' in Salcombe, her new home. She looks great and sails beautifully - what more needs be said!
The year has started briskly with another new build on the stocks. This lovely 17' yawl is from the pen of Paul Gartside and features in the latest edition of Watercraft magazine http://watercraft-magazine.com/wc_one.html Paul has written an evocative essay on the thinking behind the design, following a subtle, but comprehensive brief from her owner.
The light clinker planking has been tricky to say the least, but what a shape! This looks like being a very slippery boat. Dan Johnson has made a beautiful job of the spars, rudder and centreboard and so much more.
