Maybe the manager for our local yard has a brother? This guy is sharp as a
brick also.

Roger,
I've seen pics of your boat on your site and she fits my taste! My
approach
is the same as yours, make it right first, then worry about pretty.
I had my boat in the yard next to our little blue collar yachtclub
and had
many visitors, friends mostly, from the club and got lots of advice,
little
of any worth when I remembered how much work the advisors put into
thier own
boats.
IMHO, there is a world of difference between buying a bristol
condition
yacht and waxing it once a year and getting hold of a well used boat
and
turning it into a yacht!
I'd ignore the yardbirds opinions, unless it's about an issue they
would be
well versed in like which store sells beer cheaper than the others.
Around
here the yards generally have a big turnover (of people who just
don't have
a clue of what they are doing) and the managers? Whew!
