    Originally a french jeweler with a " Beaux Art school " background , I  immigrated to the US in 1986 and 15 years ago , as a hobby , did start restoring my own wooden boat . 3 years later , it became my main activity .

    The break came in 2003 , when I was hired by the " Los Angeles Maritime Museum " as general finishing contractor for their
    " Brigantine Youth Program ".  This unique multi millions dollar, 4 year project, consisted in the building of two sisterships, 140 feet long, wooden replicas of the magnificent nineteen century " Brigantine " tallships.  During this period, me and my crew performed all aspects of finishing operations including:  interior/exterior preparation & painting, wood sealing,  oil varnishing, fiberglassing, metals treatments, waterproofing,  windows sealing and decking .............

    During the past 15 years we have maintained and/or restored over 200 boats, on water or at our shop in Wilmington, California , including numerous  Classic woodies  , an original  Chinese Junk, and more recent fiberglass & steel vessels.


     This blog is a presentation of my work
