Yard Recommendations?? Need a yard for my 57′ 1964 Constellation to assess any post hurricane damage. I’ve got a list going but seems that she’s either too long, too heavy, too wide or they can’t get to her until spring. Any recommendations??? #nauticinderella Currently in Jacksonville, but can travel some

    You might also inquire at Huckins Yachts in Jacksonville
    They are a famous wood yacht builder and do restorations
    If you explain your situation that may be able to help or direct you to help

    Can’t say but I would try Huckins first especially for their expertise with wood hulls and location. Afraid to suggest but you might want inquire about the sag toward the transom. I’ve lived aboard two Connies and in my opinion, the 57′ was one of CC’s finest and most successful but that sag over the years is a common trait but I have seen some much worse. The more fuel in tanks the more stress. The 1970 I lived on last was not bad but the owner did not keep the tanks full except for trips and for that reason. I don’t know how correctable it is.

    Cracker Boy, Ft Pierce and Riviera Beach, Palm Beach Yacht Center, Hypoluxo. Seminole Yacht Center, Palm Beach Gardens,Murelle Marine, Lantana, The Ways, Palm Beach Gardens. I have seen wooden vessels at all I’ve mentioned but many are DIY oriented. I would still check Huckins first for location and I believe they would have some of the most skilled wood specialists. Other yards with wood specialists are Michael Rybovich, Palm Beach Gardens.

    I thought you were going to Texas. If so, South Texas Yacht Service outside of Houston in Kemha. I’ve used them many times with my 38′ Commander. Jim Snell uses them with his 46′ Constellation (wood).

    Had good experiences at Lambs , I understand new owners recently since I was there with Downing Nightingale III owning it, however it has consistently been a wood boat friendly marina for decades, I had major work done there. Huckin’s next door, top notch high end wood boat builder with great restoration capabilities….. don’t know if the new marina opened a few years ago in the same area has any shop capabilities…

    Contact Mark Mark Brundick a certified captain, ACBS and Chris Craft club member, and a wooden boat shipwright project manager who lives in Jacksonville and on f/b. Message him-he knows the yards and their capabilities.
