Stus-List Boatyards in SE
Also consider yards in coastal or the sounds of NC. Plenty of DIY yards in the Pamlico Sound, Neuse River, Albemarle Sound, Southport, NC. Those away from the Atlantic coast are mostly very reasonable in cost with decent amenities and most allow DIY work although boats with drafts of ~ 5+ ft may have difficulties in or getting to some facilities. Yard fees are much higher near the coast but if you want to mostly work on the boat, you can save big away from the coast—plus within a days sail/motor you can be on the ocean. The winds up in the rivers/sounds are on the lighter side but for all practical purposes there are no tides, currents, fog and the bottom is soft but very black mud.

There are still a fair amount of boats damaged in hurricanes that may or may not have been repaired well.

Dave, Folks on the East Coast tend to be fixated on the Florida Atlantic Coast. I recognize the convenience of being on the route from the Northeast to the islands. However, there are other areas that bear consideration. Good boatyards abound on the Florida Gulf Coast. I take Touche' 26 hours from Louisiana to haul at Pensacola Shipyard. I'm sure there are decent services on Florida's West Coast. Kemah, Tx has hundreds of sailboats. I'm thinking there are good services there also. A bit out of the way for where many want to explore but why not? Years ago, a couple from the US West Coast sold their boat in California and bought a boat in Louisiana for the express purpose of cruising the Gulf Coast from Lake Pontchartrain to the Keys and possibly beyond. Interesting but well thought out idea. -- Dennis C.

I’m keen on Dickerson Harbor on the Eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. My boat lives there in the winter. 8’ draft so I have to wait for a very high tide to get in and out. Nice competent people and you can work on your boat yourself. Lovely anchorages around there, too.

I have heard from a good friend that kept his class 40 in Charleston that is was about 30 % cheaper than prices in the northeast. I can get the name of the yard if interested.

Contemplating my next boat and have realized that sailing is best enjoyed in a place that isn’t frozen.
