Guilford, Connecticut
Guilford Harbor, West River, Sachem's Head
Guilford is the eastern edge of our regular service area, about half an hour from Milford. It is worth the drive: the boats here run larger than anywhere else we work, and the town supports several yards and clubs along the West River and out at Sachem's Head.
Guilford Yacht Club alone handles vessels up to 60 feet. On boats that size, per-foot pricing adds up quickly, so owners here tend to think carefully about protection rather than repeated correction, which is the right instinct.

Guilford has more moored boats than most towns we serve, and a moored boat is a different animal from a slipped one. It swings with wind and tide, sits in open water, and gets a full 360 degrees of sun and spray with nothing alongside to shade it. Fading is more even but also more thorough.
The salt marshes that make Guilford Harbor beautiful also make it productive water. Growth at the waterline comes on quickly through midsummer, and on a 45 or 50 foot boat that is a lot of linear feet to correct if it gets away from you. This is the service area where we most often recommend ceramic coating outright, because on a large moored boat the math on three years of protection against repeated compounding is not close.
