    Through a turn of events (i.e. the boss' first grandchild) we are going to have an unscheduled few weeks of downtime for maintenance in St. Maarten.
    Does anyone have a recommendation for a varnish crew on the island? We have roughly 1000' of caprail on which I'd like to have 4 coats applied in late March and early April.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Kenny, just go to Antigua.

    The best guys in the business are there. All the classics get done this time of year.

    I had King Kong do a few bits and pieces for me last month, but that is a lot of fuel to burn just for varnish.

    You're best bet is to talk to the dockmaster at your marina, or other yachts with varnish in St. Maarten......

    Of course- whence I've arrived. Just looking for a leg-up from YF members.

    Hi,

    The Man himself has been known to travel from time to time for special customers. Give him a call, if things are quiet in ANU he might welcome the work.
