FARRELLY HULL

This is the board its owner

learnt to surf on.

It had seen better days.

A major delam on the tail.

3 inches of the fin had been

cut off and reshaped.

Both the tip of the nose and tail were missing.

And numerous dings, some filled with car bog.

Finished.

6' 8"x 20"x 3 5/8"

Nose 14 1/4"

Tail 13 1/4"

Fin 9 1/4"

Base 4 3/4"

9 1/4" from pod.

Pretty ugly.

Have a look here to see some

images or the repairs.

S deck and side slipper fin.

Bottom camber all the way through.

Rebuilt fin.

If you look closely

you can see the join where the new

section was added.

SHANE STANDARD

The lightning bold looks original.

A basic restoration.

Repair dings. Reset fin.

Remove and reset leg rope plug.

Fill all the bottom lows.

Gloss and polish.

The pin line over the stringer is original.

Short and fat S-deck.

JOEY CABELL McDONAGH

Again this board was in for some

minor work. But it has to be added.

It is in original condition.

A few repaired dings here and there.

9'8 3/4" x 21 1/2" x 3 1/4"

Wide point 9 1/2" behind centre

Nose 15 1/2"

Tail 15 1/2"

Pod 5"

McDONAGH PIG

This board was only in for some fin tuning.

But I think it is well worth adding.

It has had a basic restoration at some point.

The bottom comp stripes are not original.

They are covering some repairs.

The surfcraft rego sticker is also not original.

9'2 1/2" x 22 1/2" x 2 11/16"

N 16 3/8"

T 17 3/4"

Pod 6"

2" balsa stringer with the number 52

written in pencil on the stringer just

fwd of the leg rope loop.

The wide point is 14 3/4" behind centre.

As is the thickness.

The chequered  McDonagh  logo.

 Pinched rails.

A refined Greenough stage 1

or a Velo SS Mk 2 fin.

All suggest this pig was built in 1966 or early 67.

SAM

This old log was a bit poorly when it arrived.

9'4" x 21" x 3"

N 16 1/4"

T 15 3/4"

Pod 4 3/4"

Ready for some glass.

This logo was originally ten

 individual logos arranged to form a circle.

Six of them disappeared when this repair was done. 

The red section of the fin

is chopped strand matt.

New logo ready for some filler.

Freshly glossed.

Finished.

The owner of this board

preferes off the brush gloss coats.

BLUEBIRD No 3158

This Bluebird by

Bob McTavish

was saved from going to the tip

by its current owner. 

6'91/2" x 19" x 33/8"

N 121/8"

T 113/4"

Pod 53/8"

Apart from delams around the legrope plug

and the Barry Bennett logo

it was in fair condition.

The tail tips and the nose tip needed replacing

and some dings needed repairing.

Re pinlined, glossed and polished.

SIMON ANDERSON THREE FIN THRUSTER

Every logo on this board was damaged

or had delaminated.

The images don't really show the extent of the damage 

this board had endured. 

The only reason it was restored is because of what it is.

Those dark patches on the deck were car bog.

They were sanded and dug out to reveal

some pretty nasty, and deep dings.

The dings on the bottom

were filled with a special brew.

More special brew.

The delaminated logos were re bonded.

This board isn't going to be a rider.

All the repairs were sanded fair

and the top and bottom

were laminated with a layer of 4oz.

Filler coated and sanded.

Then glossed and polished.

The above image is the unpolished gloss coat.

I neglected to take shots of the finished board.

Sorry.
