rather because I have found the results from boatyards to be for the most part below my standards. I don't do sail work because I don't have the equipment (loft and machine). I don't do electronic repair (usually) because I don't have the schematics - otherwise I would. Glasswork, painting, machining, electrical, rigging, varnishing, engine, mechanical, welding - I pretty much do all of that. Tried to pay some people to do it, ended up paying a LOT and getting only a little, far too frequently with some collateral damage in the bargain.
