Philip, I don't know of Fred the Fabricator personally, but there are a lot of very talented people around Beaufort. Kenny Bock, himself, is very skilled with metal work. As someone else wrote, he and his father used to build large steel fishing trawlers at the boatyard. There is also a welding/machine shop on Highway 70 east of Beaufort that has an excellent reputation. I cannot recall the name of the fellow who runs that shop, but that may be the person you are referring to. The last name may be something like "Lindon."

You folks have got me almost looking forward to our haul out. On a similar note: About ten years ago there was a welder in Beaufort named Fred. We called him 'Fred the Fabricator' and his work was not only reasonably priced, but exquisitely done. He made a mast head spinnaker bale for me that was a work of art. Is he still around? Any contact info? Philip At 12:12 AM 4/16/2008, you wrote: Philip, My boat, s/v Truelove is on the hard at Bock. Philip & Marilyn Lange AE4OV & KD4JRC, ORYOKI Witness 35 Catamaran
