Being formerly Three Brothers Marine I am now working with Vela Boatworks in Jacksonville, Florida. I had thought I was going to retire but have been drawn into this new project. Besides building the prototype Vela 37' Catamaran CC we are also doing service work and restorations. As always, I am happy to serve whether helping you to restore or update the boat of your dreams, or custom building one of our 'Cats' to suit your needs. Come see us at 2111 W. Beaver St in Jacksonville, Florida.

Yep, that's me, all that and a little bit of Pirate too. When I get a spot of free time I do graphics for the web (and for boats), a bit of cartooning, a touch of carving, and when I get really bored I dress like a pirate and have a pint or two of grog.
...of course not all wives agree. The key is not to let it turn into a "project boat". It's often tempting to pick up that one you have been driving by every day. With its beautiful lines and classic shape you lose yourself in dreams of sailing the Seven Seas on your pristine yacht while ignoring the faded glass, rotten wood and the 3' tall grass growing all around it. A very wise man once told me, "If it's free you can't afford it". I have found that to be very true in the past.
My personal project at the
moment is a 1960 thirteen ft.
Boston Whaler. It is coming
right along and when
finished will be the 16th
one I have restored. Call me
crazy but it's what I do
when I am bored.
As you can see my work is cut out for me. I refuse to paint it so all the repairs and finish will be fiberglass and gel coat. I hate the ones people paint...
Thats not a motto, that's just what I do. Sometimes on the job I even teach those that want to learn, how to do their own maintenance and repairs in the process. So whether your doing fiberglass repair, gel coat repair, or just some over due boat detailing give me a call. Good advice may save you tons of money and hardships.
Be sure and check my work on the other pages in this site and remember, my goal is to put the "Fun back into your Boating"!
