The Armand's Joy has had many patch repairs over the years. Primarily comprised of fiberglass strips and epoxy, the Armand's Joy was able to remain water worthy for years. Once inherited by Liz it was acknowledged that work would be needed before the vessel got back on open water. A garage was found and the boat was moved to Massachusetts. But it was too good to be true. Too dark, too damp, and a little bit too far away, the garage with the boat inside, became and expensive and poorly suited storage location. For two years. And then on a suggestion of a friend I searched again for a maker space. There's one less than 4 miles from my house. So space was acquired in April 2021, the boar was moved in, and repairs began.
