About : My Boat Works

Welcome aboard! I'm Jerr Dunlap. Please feel free to ask any questions - I'm happy to pass on knowledge I've received from cherished old salts.

When faced with a career change in 2005, a close sailing friend told me my woodworking has rare beauty, that I know as much about sailing and working on boats as anyone and that with my deep love of boats... I started My Boat Works.

I give solid, knowledgeable work and thoughtful, forthright support. Seeing customers' appreciation of my finished work is one of my daily joys: Wouldn't you rather hire someone who has had pies baked from scratch in appreciation of their work?

I am a woodworker, rigger and a sailor. I treat projects as if they were on one of my boats (I have a coastal cruiser and a racing dinghy.) and take pride in my work's solid functionality and beauty.

I am available for large and small projects (Excellent CAD where needed!) and will gladly travel or ship completed parts. I live in Los Angeles and normally work in most Southern Californian harbors.

Need an especially resourceful, experienced hand for a delivery or a known reliable hand to run the boat & spoil you with amazing meals, real sailing, great anchorages and truly local experiences instead of timid motoring from one touristy harbor to the next on vacation? Call me!
