Boat owners are often master do-it-yourselfers (DIY's), and Chris Letsche definitely fits the bill. Here he is preparing for a new boot stripe on his Newport 40 ketch, Owlheart. In the second photo, Chris is in front of a space-saving, 2-piece Spindrift dinghy which he built from plans.

When asked about his experience in the Boat Yard, Chris stated: "I love this place." We're happy to accommodate the boating community's DIY's.
