Feature:
a Boat by the river PART 1

The Fibreglass Shop are proud sponsors of A Boat By The River – a project documenting the build of a strip planked 41ft pilot cutter designed by Paul Gartside.

This article is the first of 2 written for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival by festival champion Bella Laughton-Clark, where she caught up with Matt and Lefke Morris to discuss building Tarkine. 

A finished engine box and fibreglass work done on our wooden boat Tarkine (Ep27)

In this video matt finishes his engine box. Installed with clever hinges and top of the line soundproofing material. Next up, Iefke applies fibreglass to the interior hull planking in the stern until she gets a phone call that maybe the house is on fire! Quick thinking and some salvage work to be done when she gets back to the boat. She also tries to give a small explanation about the basics of working with fibreglass. Thank you all so much for watching.

CUSTOMER PROFILE: TOM SLOANE
