Boat yards for bottom work NC/SC/GA/Fl was created by George1632
I'm trying to find a recommendation for a boatyard that does good work with removing old paint, repairing blisters, recoating and repainting my 38' IP in any of the following states: NC/SC/GA/Fla (east coast). Can someone steer me to a recommended provider?

George - During the 2011-2012 sailing season I had Sailcraft in Oriental do a lot of work on my IP 38, including a complete bottom job. The staff there were very professional and helpful. As an added bonus, Oriental is a terrific community to hold up for awhile. Assuming Allan is still the owner I feel confident the workmanship remains at the highest level.

I just had the bottom of our IP40 redone (unknown paint from previous owner removed and new Petit bottom paint) at Wayfarers Cove (252-249-0200), in Arapahoe NC (about 8-10 miles from Oriental NC). This is the 2nd time we've had work there and were very pleased both times with the quality of the work, the value (fair-pricing), and the owner (Tom) was AWSOME at communicating all the details about the what/when/how-much/etc. If you need any other work done, they have the best all-around boat mechanic in the area (Asa Gatlin), as well a great canvas worker (Ginny Vogt), and fiberglass guru (Dave). Tom is also great about letting you do whatever work you'd like to do yourself and didn't charge us for any time in a slip or on the hard.

I absolutely agree that Wayfarers Cove (252-249-0200), in Arapahoe NC is great, Not fancy, and a very narrow channel in, but a great place with great people. We have had the bottom on our 40 done there three times, and we have stored for the summer about four times. The best hurricane yard in the Pamlico sound area. Very high - like 15' above mean water. If you get flooded out of Wayfarers people will be under water Raleigh NC a 100 miles inland. Oriental floods if the water comes up, likewise New Bern and Washington.
