I've been a bit busy of recent.. A couple of weeks referbing this really lovely Targa 31' came to a conclusion beginning of last week. The owner, having had the boat left in at Cowes for the last couple of years untouched, decided she needed a bit of birthday loving.....
With the hull burnished back with 1000grade and 2000 grade respectivly at a speed of 2500rpm, I think I have managed to bring back her GELCOAT to almost as new. With a quick coat of a carnuba rich Honey wax, she looked a real picture in the slings.
With one of my brothers servicing the twin Volvo inboards/outdrive legs and with her new cleaner hull antifouled with Black Joton speed 30 she now manages to comfortably reach 38 knots, a good 4 knots faster than when we started!!
Six days of some pretty hard graft paid off I think and jim Bustin' aggreed. There was no problem with my rates, indeed the yard was also happy and they asked me to do another yacht in their yard!
Theres never enough hours in the day... I've just got off the phone to customer from last season who wants some help cruising the Med in his Hallberg Rassey 46'.
