Dorothy is a beautiful 1894 gaff cutter, an elegant old lady who came to us in need of some serious TLC.
We stripped her back and splined / re-puttied / re-caulked her seams where necessary. We also replaced a garboard plank and repaired her backbone, stern post and stem. On her topsides, we applied 2x coats of primer, 4x coats of undercoat and 2x coats of Epifanes Monourethane Gloss in dark blue.
Thanks to the team’s fine brushwork skills, her glossy blue topsides have a perfect mirror finish - all in a days work for this talented bunch.
