Abaco Dinghy HENNING Seam Compound

12 Nov 24:

We applied Interlux White Seam Compound to the seams. We used white, which is formulated for above the waterline for all of the seams because the boat will bot be in the water for long periods. And we found that taping off either side of the seam helped to limit excess compound being outside of the seam.

1981 AMF Sunfish MADISON Photo Shoot

24 Oct 24:

Once again our Sunfish named MADISON was called to action for a photo shoot, we needed to get pictures of the Ronstan Battlestick for a Small Boats Nation article. Wind building as a front came down the James River, 10 knots with a burble coming over the treeline made for interesting conditions, but Skipper worked through it, heading out on a fun and then heading back in on a run, with one dead spot in between. Water temp 68F, air temp 70F with the tide about halfway out.

Photo shoot basics. I stand in the waist deep water while Skipper tries to hit me...actually she just does a fly by, because if she hurt me then she'd have to load the boats. 

Our kayak LEWIS got to play a bit also. 

Our dollies and carts make life easy, no boats to lift.
