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.

LIGHTNING BOLT

I have it on pretty good authority, that some bolts were

built at Bennett's and shaped by Steve O'Donnell.

The deck was in pretty good condition

apart from a dodgy legrope install and a few onions.

Finished.

The rails and the bottom were in poor condition.

Extra glass was added around the rails.

Any lows were then built up and faired.

Freshly glossed bottom.

This board has been kept as original as possible.

So all the dings and stressied are visable.

There is a story in them all.

The only thing the owner wanted to hide

was the ugly post production legrope plug.

Typical early to mid 70's rocker.

And outline with widepoint and thickness foward.

McCOY TWIN FIN

Shame about the ding.

Early 70's twin fin.

6'2" x 19 1/2"

The fins are 6 3/4" high 4 3/4" base.

One fin would have been big enough.

Novel leg rope attachment.

A bit of fishing line and VB cord.

Shaper Peter Lawrence.

There is a bit of conjecture about who manufactured these boards.

Whoever made them, they knew what they were doing.

CONTRACT PRODUCTION BOARDS, 1960's

The pigment work on the bottom is original.

It measures in at.

9' 5 3/4" x 20 3/4"

Nose 15 3/4"

Tail 14"

Pod 5"

Pretty flat rocker.

The nose and tail blocks are not original.

There was allot of damage at both ends.

So removing the damaged glass and foam

and fitting and shaping the cedar blocks

was the the way to go.

A new fin had to be made.
