Wooden Yachts

My son has one he is restoring.

They are beautiful, solid old boat, but they are wooden ...
wooden boats come with their own unique set of issues. Interview on the hull is a continuous thing.
The bending of the wood expands and contracts and leaks can develop. His best bet would be to laminate the outer shell of fiberglass.

But they have classic lines and a well-made food can drive a boat project worth 15 to 20K dollars in one quarter of a million dollar masterpiece

Matthews is a very old wooden boats.Unfortunately many of them have been constructed using steel fasteners rusting and should be re-fastening.I not recommend fiberglass put on the outer shell, because this way of a good restoration and the value of boat.Keep originality. Flag

They were a good boat.
