This Seafarer was in with us for Stage 1 of the restoration work in 2018 for a refurbish and repaint of the hull underside. The owner has been using the boat extensively in the meantime but was now ready for Stage 2 of the works. The hull had its fair share of war wounds from […]

You may remember this project from an earlier post. We are now progressing well with the finishing work with clear sights set on the painting stage. The work since the last post has been attending to extensive repairs above the gunnel including the cabintop, aft deck, cabin structure and interior. On the aft deck we […]
Trailer Sailer Keel Install – Boat Repairs Newcastle NSW
You may remember this job from a previous post, where we removed the swing keel and the owner took it away to get it sandblasted and recoated. Now that all that work has been done, we have the boat back in to replace the keel. This became more work than expected as we had to […]

Stratus Trailer Sailer Refurb – Boat Repairs Medowie NSW
As with a lot of boat projects, they sometimes get put on the back burner. This trailer sailer project was started a number of years ago and had been sitting for a long time. The first thing we did was go right over the boat to give it a thorough health check. Surprisingly it was […]
Refurb & Customize Project – Boat Modifications Port Stephens NSW
We are currently working on re-modelling and refurbishing this unbranded 18ft half cabin that is a family favourite.
