We took Precision 17 into our care after it was damaged in a fire at the Fremantle Sailing Club. We undertook extensive boat repairs and maintenance such as sandblasting, repairing delamination, applying fibreglass mat with Vinylester resin, priming, filling and fairing. See our progress below!

Precision 17 with extensive fire damage sitting at the Fremantle Shipwrights yard waiting to be restored.

Wrapping the boat to prep for sandblasting off the damaged paint and filler back to fibreglass.

Hull and cabin sandblasted back to fibreglass, exposing the fire damage.

The team repaired delamination between the foam and fibreglass.

The team applied two layers of fibreglass mat with Vinylester resin. Vinylester resin has an excellent resistance to water ingression so it was perfect for the job!
