“A boat is a reflection of its owner.” Making the sailboat to powerboat switch is fairly common, inevitable for some. Owners of now MV “Whirlaway” were coming from an absolute turn-key blue water sailing Bristol 47. If they were to take the powerboat plunge it would have to be a larger classic New England style…
Full twelve month/4000 labor hours comprehensive refit performed by all JBY Departments and select subcontractors. JBY Mechanical either serviced, repaired, or replaced all systems, highlights to include: Removal of tankage, cleaning/de-scaling bilges & mast/keel. Extensive services & upgrades to main engine, generator, bow-thruster, seacocks/strainers & related plumbing hardware, sanitation systems, stove system, extensive wiring, batteries…
Confetti originally came to JBY to escape the BVI after Hurricane Irma. Although the damages she incurred were relatively minor, her owners jumped on the opportunity when space became available on a Seven-Star transport ship as the prospects of repairs after such devastation in the Caribbean weren’t exactly promising. After taking care of her “bumps…
Due to an impeccable maintenance schedule and some very nice upgrades along the way; we have not, nor expect to ever do a major refit on this classic looking yet fairly modern multi-purpose sailing yacht.
After an unfortunate, but yet appeared to be “little” accident off Nova Scotia, Swan 56 CLOVER opted to come to JBY to have repairs performed. Collision repairs often seem to take the path of worst case access…..Removal of the toerail & teak planks on the exterior, the upper portion of the galley on the interior,…
In 1966 Sparkman & Stephens drafted an relatively unknown shipwright in Pietarsaari Finland to be the primary builder for their newest design (#1710.51). As the intent for this vessel was for racing, the Finns proposed construction via a cutting edge material for a boat this size……..fiberglass. By 1970, ninety of these models had been delivered, and the Viking ancestors never looked back. We’ve…
As a result of a late autumn storm, Swan 44 Moondance broke free of her mooring in Long Island Sound causing significant damage to her hull, deck, rudder, and systems. As the logistics of trucking the boat from her present location were difficult, JBY sent technicians down to perform temporary fiberglass repairs to make her sea-worthy,…
Refit and maintained from masthead down thru keel…….. Since 2001, Swan 61 ALERRE has taken full advantage of all of JBY’s Service Departments. On the mast….. spars have been painted with Awlgrip, replaced rod & running rigging, fully serviced two hydraulic furlers, Navtec mast control components, and converted all the lighting to LEDs. On deck….has…
“Maintained to the highest yacht standards…………..” Was an inside joke with the new owners of Swan 61 Viking. Being knowledgeable & longtime Swan owners, this yacht’s billing caught their eye on the brokerage market, and led them from Los Angeles to JBY in October to view her. The short of the story is that although…
“We just purchased this lovey Wasque 32, and would really like you guys to paint the hull red.” No problem, except……bad news is that there is absolutely no sense of doing this unless you replace both your rub & toe rails as they are pretty tired and their fasteners beneath are and will continue to…

One of the more unique projects recently at JBY was swapping a standard rigged Baltic 55 spar’s with a used Swan 56 mainsail furling mast & boom ….. At first the notion seemed highly implausible, but after some quick measurements & comparisons it almost seemed possible; after we drafted the engineering department at Hall Spars to review the concept, it…
Modern design meets classic craftsmanship….. Super sexy European styled day-sailer is imported to USA in need of cosmetic refit and some nagging mechanical items. New owner lives on West Coast, has the concepts, but needs a yard to manage, perform, and deliver to completion. Her spars & hull were painted in Awlgrip, the bottom stripped…
Upon purchase of Baltic 35 ILLUSTRIOUS in 2002, her new owners immediately contracted JBY to replace the main engine. As with all the re-powers we undertake, we recommend that after removal of the engine this is a suitable time to address other “confined” issues, such as insulation replacement, wiring & plumbing repairs, and re-location of…
“Apparently you guys are the only ones that really understand and can refit my boat, please do so……and I need it back in FL quickly”.
