They have the best website for building composite boats. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

A few years ago I bought an old dyer dhow that was for sale in NH. (From searching the web) On a ski trip I picked it up and brought it home. Re-habed it over the winter and have had several great seasons with it. I sent the hull id number into dyer and they gave me the background. Built in 1961 and today looks nearly brand new. They never used the sails and they were still wrapped up. Great dingy and fun to goof around in the salt pond under sail, oar or power.
Dyers last forever and are a classic.

I have a Dyer Dhow that I bought almost twenty years ago. I think the wood is completely shot, its been outside a long time  The mast and sail are inside and in good condition. Can the shell be restored? |

Yes. The hull is fiberglass but the seats transom support and rub rail are wood. Dyer sells rub rail kits and you can make a template out of the old seat and trim pieces and cut new mahogany. (The rubrail is oak). You can also paint the hull with a 2-part epoxy paint. I added sand to the inside floor. Most of my wood was in decent shape. This boat was stored inside for years. I stripped it all down, re- stained and varnised it all. I only needed to replace a couple pieces and the rubrail was shot. If you have all the pieces to the boat you should do it. Even shot these are worth quite a bit, there is almost a cult like status among the owners.
There is a number either burned in (or on a plastic plate) on the transom. Email it to dyer. they will tell you when it was made, who it was made for and what you need to fix it.
