Looking for good boatyard US East Coast Dear Friends I have a Swan 57 hull number 14, Nakesa. We are cruising the east coast of the US this summer and I would like to find a good yard to haul out and get rudder bearing replaced and have some interior varnishing/repair done. Can anyone recommend anywhere with good rates and good standards? This is a new cruising ground for us. Thank you Graham Nakesa, Prickly Bay, Grenada |

Graham, I can personally recommend the Jamestown Boatyard who Geoff mentions. They have a long history of renovating older Swans and have a store room with lots of old fittings too so that you can keep the boat original. Their varnishing and painting skills are as good as I have seen anywhere - particularly if you want the original look. They were also able to re veneer bulkheads for me where there had been water damage or just too many screw holes such as in the galley. I wanted to replace the floorboards, but they suggested stripping them, bleaching them slightly and then re varnishing with many coats and they look like new.

Hello Graham: I can also personally attest to Jamestown Boat Yard's quality of work. I had a complete osmosis job on the bottom as well as a complete Awlgrip of the hull on my Swan 43. They did a great job staying per schedule and per budget. You can go to their web site via the link from the home page of this web site and look at some of their completed projects. You wil see my boat on this web site as well. The best contact person there would be Andy Dickinson who looked after my boat during the refit. Good Luck, Hiro
