Who can paint wooden boats in Cowes?

[Gary Fox]

I am looking for recommendations for a company or private individual to do a couple of days sanding and painting my hull in E Cowes, during the next two weeks. Many thanks.

Just want the job done without teaching people how to do it.

 

[Capt Popeye]

Retired PROPER Traditional boat builders I recon are the best to look for !

Ok so Richardson’s surely?

"A couple of days"
So how long is this boat? 12 feet?

I suspect it’s not a Mirror dinghy but he didn’t say it was the entire hull though to be fair

Everything below the waterline, a little sanding (antifouling is already removed) then a coat of primer.
It's my yacht Marihøna, LWL 30'6"

My neighbour might do it & is good with his hands. He is a retired gynecologist. Made a good job of his hall.
Stood in the street & painted it through the letterbox

Well yes, except I cant get even close to my own boat!

 

[stuartwineberg]

Surely Lallows are exactly what is needed?

To what standard? Paintcraft?
You could ask around the various dayboat classes, lie XOD , Victory etc, some people I knew used to odd-job painting those to varying standards, but we're all consultants now....

Thanks everyone, all the local people seem to be busy so I am mainly going to do it myself and postpone some other things.
