The next project to be coming to J-Star Marine Services for a new deck and other small jobs
A Finesse 21 which is in need of a new main deck
The yacht is in overall good condition, however, it needs a replacement main deck as this as gone rotten in places and the best way to tackle this problem is to remove the whole deck from bow to stern and investigate the reason why it happened and ensure it does not return.
A part of the deck which as de-laminated as the plywood used was not the correct grade of plywood for the use it was being used for.
A section of rubbing strake that needs renewing and a piece further along on the same side. The best course of action in this job, is to renew the whole length to keep its strength and when sheathing the deck, It will ensure the sheathing is held in position by a single piece of rubbing strake.
A small repair needed to the edge of the plank.
