We have a new member joining the team helping out around the yard and he has a project of his own going on.  Finn will be doing various jobs, and when he's not on duty he'll be working hard on restoring his own boat, a 41ft ferro oyster smack.  This means he understands the pit falls and joys of boat restoration! 
Finn is sharing his restoration project to inspire others and his photos and journey can be found on Instagram 'knotFINNishedYet.  Well worth a look.

Marine Welder Nolan Post has been working on this job, and although it seems small, adding another step, which is easy to maintain, has made a huge difference to this Steel Barge.  Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference.  To contact Nolan to discuss any of the welding works please contact the Office.  Click on the contact menu above.
