Looks like you had a busy winter. Would love to see your work up close.

Tony -
I had the privilege of meeting Gert late last year and seeing the Zeeland, Riva 25 and his 31 in person.
Many times pictures hide imperfections, but this is not the case with his shops work. Everything looks as good or better up close than the pictures.

The pictures do show perfection. That is why I would love to see them up close. Not to find an imperfection but to just admire the work. Especially since I think he rolls and tips them.
I only know of one other roll and tip guy that comes close to Gert. He is in NJ and difficult to get to do work beyond what is in his yard. He is a busy guy, and if he does not know you, or you don't drop the right name of who you know in town, he will tell you he is too busy.

We've seen a few Zeelander's pass through Liberty Harbor Marina in Jersey City. They are a cross between modern and classic. Very interesting.Looks like you know how to make them beautiful.
