We took Prairie Gold (PG) for some work to be completed at Hingham Shipyard Marina. They were fast and efficient. I will return there when more work needs to be done.
PG was hauled Tuesday and by Wednesday noon her bottom had been cleaned, sanded and painted! Yolande and I went over and added a flexofold folding prop. Fingers crossed that the blades stay on! She is being re-launched today and we will sail her home tomorrow, Friday.
I can't say enough good things about Hingham Shipyard Marina. We got a call updating us every day this week. We dropped her off on Sunday and on Monday we got a call to let us know that she couldn't be hauled due to high winds. Tuesday we go the call "She has been hauled and is on stands, come over and do any work you wish". Wednesday we went did the work, and they had already completed theirs. Wednesday evening, we go the call - we will launch her tomorrow. During the Feb-April time period I had been trying to figure out where to take PG for this work and kept receiving responses such as "call back next month" or no response to emails from other marinas/yards closer to home. When I went further from our home port, Hingham was immediately responsive and set a tentative date and were pro-active in reaching out to me to confirm arrangements.
When we were at the yard yesterday we had a problem pulling the prop and thread problems on the prop shaft. The crew in the yard came over and offered to help (free of charge). Without them we would not have been able to put the new prop on. They were fantastic.
Often we complain about poor service. Hingham Shipyard Marina gets 10 out of 10 for great customer service and quality workmanship. I will return!
