We’re very pleased to announce the launch of our new Tumblr: broken boat stuff. We’ve decided to put online our massive archive of damaged boat parts pictures.

It’s been 10 years this coming may that we’re surveying boats, looking for what’s wrong on them. We’ve seen a lot. We want to share this with you. We’ll also post there nice pictures of the caribbean in between.

We hope you will enjoy.

Rudder repair

While surveying lately a 2008 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36i, my client and myself realized during the haul out inspection that 30% of the rudder blade was missing, following a bad grounding.

Needless to say, this was kind of a turn down for the client. However, and despite the dramatic aspect of it, such issue is pretty easily repairable, at least for any FRP professional. See above how, step by step.
