BoatWorks Magazine, a sister publication of SAIL Magazine, recently sponsored a contest to completely restore a readers boat. The lucky reader was Mr. John Smith and his boat is a 1980 Ericson 34’.

The bulk of the restoration was handled by Waterlines in Portsmouth, RI. The standing rigging, running rigging, and lifeline fabrication were handled by Kevin Montague of North East Rigging Systems LLC. in Boston, MA.

Johnson Marine provided the lifeline and standing rigging hardware. Please peruse the photos below and see Kevin work his magic with Johnson Marine hardware.
