| Restorers & Builders of Fine Wooden Boats | |
|
It’s been a busy winter here at St. Paul Shipwrights! We’ve
had the pleasure of having three Rivas in over the past several months (all
three were brought to our shop by Mahogany Bay), as well as a lot of other
fine boats. One of the Rivas, a Super Aquarama from Maine, underwent a complete strip, stain and varnish, got new decks and some bottom repairs, as well as having all its hardware rechromed. The second Riva Aquarama we worked on was a local boat and also got a complete strip, stain & varnish. A 1959 Riva Tritone came back into the shop for the first time since we completely rebuilt her in 2000-2001 for four more coats of varnish, which required disassembly and reassembly of all the hardware and interior. We’ve also worked on a 24’ CC twin engine Sportsman – one of only sixteen with twin engines. The sportsman got a complete strip, stain & varnish on the topsides as well as new aft decks. The boat also received a lot of systems work. Our most recent project was a complete rebuild on a 1958 17’ deluxe CC Runabout. The runabout got new decks, quite a few new topside and bottom planks, and was completely rewired. If you click on the "see our work" button, you'll see several examples of recent restorations. Over the course of 25 years, we have restored literally hundreds of boats of all sizes and makes, and these are just a few. We're busy this summer, but somehow we find the time to spend on the water. Here's hoping you can do the same - |
