The hulls are weighed and force dried with hot air if needed. Upgrades include access ports added for inspection to vital areas of the hull. All hulls are stripped of all hardware and refitted with new or refinished parts as needed. All boats are re-rigged with new lines , sail rings, sails( if wanted). Other upgrades and custom features can be added to make your sailing experience even better.

In Vermont clean water is a paramount issue as with other states. Conservation and reclamation of resources keeps toxic materials from entering the environment. My Water reclaiming system reuses the water I use for wet sanding while the by-product is captured through a multi filter medium . This ensures nothing will be going down the drain and into the ground or sewer systems. While I still enjoy being outside during the warmer months to do my initial washing and prep work, I still keep the heavy sanding work inside in my containment wash booth. Also recycling these sailboats in many cases keeps them out of the landfills and on the water for many more years to come.

These Iconic and colorful sailboats have been around for over 60 years putting wet smiles on both young and old alike. Every Sunfish has a story and my restorations rekindle many lost memories of sailing adventures in just about every body of water world wide. As a kid I was fortunate to have learned how to sail a sunfish in Montego Bay, Jamaica and I have been "hooked" ever since.
