Great to have the half size barge Cygnet in the drydock for repairs.
Handy to have the cold snap to show where she was leaking!

Our recent project, Judith Barge from King Edward Quay, Colchester.
We collected and towed her back to St Osyth Boatyard and floated her into one of our covered drydocks.
She was shot blasted which revealed extensive pitting in the over plating caused by galvanic action after the loss of the sacrificial anodes.
Once repairs were complete the hull was sprayed with our new Graco King Airless paint sprayer.
Two coats of Jotamastic 90 epoxy primer followed by two coats of shiny black topcoat.
New anodes, a thorough clean and a return tow completed the job.
