Beginning in the fall of 2011, Susan McCart and John Gudelsky’s Absolut Joy, a 59′ Ritchie Howell previously known as Press Time, made its way to the Jarrett Bay service yard for an extensive winter makeover. While here, our service team executed a great deal of basic mechanical upgrades, along with some necessary structural repairs and reconstruction, while trying to maintain her original builder’s intentions.
Mechanically, we were able to remedy some standard maintenance issues in her engine room and beyond, including upgrading wiring to ABYC standards, sound barrier installation and upgraded fire suppression. Our neighbors at Gregory Poole Marine Power also performed thorough engine inspections and we performed upgrades and re-positioning of a number of systems including exhaust, fuel system, batteries and chargers, and all water systems (raw, fresh and gray). We also performed a fuel polishing service, troubleshot some leaks in the oil and genset fuel systems, and rebuilt both upper and lower helm stations.
Structurally, we made hull modifications and fiberglass repairs for improved hull performance and repainted the entire exterior – the hull with John’s signature color blue.

David,
I wanted to thank you for standing behind the CAT engine issues we had on the Horizon 74-612. Jarrett Bay and Gregory Poole CAT worked seamlessly to make this engine swap one of the most efficient I have ever seen. The owner has been around the boat for the whole time and was very impressed at the work done and especially the time frame that means he will be back sailing north tomorrow after only a week of down time.
Caterpillar is very fortunate to have two great teams at Gregory Poole and Jarrett Bay to support your product.
