boatyards

Does anyone have experience with British Marine and Industrial (In Alameda, CA)? My E34 needs new standing rigging and a mast refurbish. Maybe work on a forehatch. Got a quote which may be reasonable but it's a lot of money nonetheless and I figured I'd look around on this one. @Pete the Cat...

This is a fraught topic, but so important (especially for any new owners), and @Pete the Cat just posted ('Bogus Barrier Coating') a comment about an unnamed boatyard that in the past did something poorly, which reminded me that I had been meaning to post: I have now used two boatyards on SF...

We are going to bring our new to us 29 down river from Hermiston this summer and would like to take it out and repaint the bottom in Portland, OR or Astoria, OR before we race down to Newport this summer. Can anyone recommend a yard that can paint her and still let us do some work ourselves?
