Jay Emerson, WBA member and professional boat restorer, shared a beautiful presentation of a Shepherd 27 footer that he recently did some major transom, topside and deck restoration on at the Club's May meeting. |
Jay shared the joys and challenges of replacing the craft's transom, and bringing her hull and deck back to show condition. Thanks, Jay, for a very informative and fascinating story! We love to learn from the pros! |

For the moment, you can tell these twin '68 Grand Prix apart because Mark Wilson's is upside down and Marc Hill's is right side up. Mark Wilson is in the throes of fairing his boat's side planks. It's a long, manual task using a combination of the long fairing sanding board and random orbital sander (above). |
Marc Hill's fairing days are behind him, as he's now working on finishing his bilge before installing the engine and beginning his deck planking. WBA restorers have learned, sometimes the hard way, that hull work, mechanics and wiring are much more easily done before any decking is installed. |

Next Monthly Meeting June 21, 2012. Don't miss it!
Join us for a light meal and moderate libation at 5:30 p.m. at Two Guys from Italy prior to the meeting. We encourage you to join us for dinner, so we'll always have the required minimum number of diners to avoid a room charge. Shop Talk and Musings:
And, finally: Please take a look in the shed or garage for the leftover parts or other saleable items you can donate to the club. Bring them to any WBA meeting, or contact David Kanally at david@historywithheart.com for pickup. ![]() |
