That sounds like somewhere on Broad Common Rd. I'd put my money on
Barrettt
Holby's shop ;-)
If not, then Barry Carroll, but IIRC they were a bit bigger.

It was Carroll Marine. It may be a little bigger but not much. My
estimate was based on trying to scale around the 3 Mum 30's and the Nelson
Marek 46 they were building at the time.

In reserching before starting Rutu I visited several plants. Barry's was
about the typical size. In comparison the Beneteau plant in Marion, South
Carolina is HUGE.

Looks like the inside of Carroll. Very depressing to see it empty. There
is something .. inspiring.. for lack of a better word, about a medium size
boatbuilding operation with a mix of custom and one designs parading down
the line. Empty it is just another building.
