Asymmetrical Conversion, foil rudders and fiberglass repair on a 1988 Melges E Scow - ready for a Boat Show!
What Customers are Saying:

"I’ve had Charlie work on my C scow twice over the past few years and he has always done an excellent job at a competitive price. This past fall, my 2000 Melges C had several dings and the hull and cockpit were getting discolored.

When I picked up the boat, it looked like a new boat inside and out. I even decided to get a new full deck cover to preserve the great job Charlie did. I would definitely recommend Sailing Solutions to anyone."


Steve Woldum - Minneapolis

"Charlie did an awesome job with the asymmetrical conversion on our latest addition to the E fleet in Finland - a mid-80's Melges E Scow.

All the cracks and nicks are gone from the hull, making this is the nicest vintage boat we have ever brought to Finland. Sailing Solutions will be doing all our Asym conversions for our next imports.

Thanks again for a job well done."

Vesa Salo - Finnish Sportboat Association

"Twice I have brought my 2001 Melges C scow to Charlie for repairs and cleanup, and both times I have been more than satisfied with his work.

Charlie did an excellent job on my boat, resulting in my C looking like new.  He also did a beautiful job of applying new deck racing numbers!  He kept me informed of progress through emails, which was most appreciated.

Due to his craftsmanship, I now feel I have a “new boat” waiting to race and enjoy this season!

Thanks, Charlie, for a great job, on estimate and on time!"
