That's a real nice design retaocleg, love the color choices as well. Excited to see it come together. How many boats a month are you shooting at Nordic now?

about 1 a week............we need good, experienced laminators........and the pool here is small for "good" laminators, apparently.....lots of pretenders.........most are of the school of "volume over quality".............and it makes it hard to staff..........our guys are so much more than that.........and I am not just saying that because I work there..........I was a laminator before turning to gel, and I might be a better laminator than a gelcoater........so I see things more clearly than most........our lead laminator is a quality guy..........you just have to come see the laminants ...........very, very clean......no short cuts (or the "fuck-it's" and "good enough" as we call it)........the man hours in every boat is more than you'd think..........or should I say, the man hours per boat to do it puss is more than you think...........could build a lot more if the utmost quality was compromised.......but if that was the case, I wouldn't want to work there..............been in too many production type "custom" shops to see it is a reputation killer when quantity is the top concern............
sorry for the long winded answer, lol.........but we need laminators right now to keep up with demand........everytime we paint a stocker, we sell it...........need stock going into the season............never thought I'd see these days again, but here we are...............thane sells faster than we build..............that is the readers digest condensed version.............and most don't believe..............don't know what to say about that............just keep posting, and when people see the shop, there are no stockers...............so there it is............

Really glad to see you guys building so much and back logged at that. And that dedication to quality is what is giving Nordic its reputation and especially coming out shining after the huge industry bust. Hopefully now you guys will reap the rewards. Keep up the great work.

If I was in position, I would have walked in and wanted something very similar with blue, and all you would have to say is, "but you can take this one home right now" and I probably would just start shoveling money at you, another beauty, I really like the fades in the red. and rigging again top notch.
