Good south west Lake Michigan boatyard?

[Artisan Boatworks]

We've got a potential customer halfway between Milwaukee and Chicago interested in having a boat built. We're looking for a small yard to entrust with the maintenance. Any recommendations?

I've got a wood boat nut/owner friend who lives in Winnetka that I've e-mailed. Will let you know here if he answers and has a suggestion.

It would help if he knew whether the hoped-for-commission is sail or power. Feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the help- probably a 12 1/2 or Fish, edge glued and epoxy coated.

We're after a a small personable yard who understands wooden boats, has exceptional standards, and will take a genuine interest.
