The Holderness Family

Bottom job


Scraped off old antifouling, solvent washed bottom and added 4 coats Interprotect 2000E.

Painted strip with "One shot" sign paint. Designed for easy coverage and max UV exposure it's a good choice.

finished off with a coat of VC17

Mojo, our tomcat likes it too - he just finished adding his mark to the bottom...

Custom graphics by a master


Our friend, Dave Chapman, designed and painted this logo for us. What is amazing is that he paints totally freehand! It looks computer generated no mater how close you examine it. Not that surprising as Dave's work is visible all over Southern Ontario...

New electrics and floor


Ripped out the entire "rats nest" and replaced with tinned copper, proper fusing, proper wire gauge and circuit design. Floor is 3/8 vinyl "planks" that have tongue and groove adhesive flaps to join. No need to glue down, designed for wet environments and not slippery when wet.

Homemade galley unit


Made from oak strips of varying sizes and shapes from Home Depot. Assembled with countersunk brass screws and finished with Danish oil (medium oak). We sized it to fit our plates, bowls, mugs, paper towels, condiments etc.

V berth storage rack


Yet another homemade creation. Ran out of Danish oil, new product ended up with darker finish. This unit is "owned" by Lindsey and Kira, for their stuff.

Motor steering arm


Any Mac Classic owner knows that you need to use the motor for directional control at low speed.

We added our own "tiller" handle that allows stop-to-stop movement within easy reach of the operator.
