Swift Quad Bow Replacement

We took on the bow replacement for a Swift 4x that had crashed into a dock at speed, fabricating a new bow to its original shape using a novel approach.

Empacher Double Racing Shell Restoration

The Empacher double racing shell has, over the years, been considered the best of the best. It’s been the one boat that most rowers covet more than any other.

Peinert 26 Shell Restoration

This Peinert 26 deck was badly damaged by a falling tree. As is often the case, a previous repair complicated the shell restoration we performed. In order to keep the Peinert close to its original weight, we had to remove and replace a substantial section of the damaged foredeck.
