Doug Wright is expanding his operation and needs approximately 20 additional employees. They are the builders of well known 32' catamaran and have never not won a national and or world championship since they have been in business. They are in need of laminators, body men, mill operators, and painters. This is a chance to work side by side with some of the industries leading suppliers, builders and designers. You will learn the latest techniques of infusion, vacuum bagging, 5 axis mill work, e-glass, composite core materials, and carbon fiber epoxy repair along with new mold production. Pay will start in the low range of 18 per hour and depending on effort, knowledge, and ability can go above 30 dollars per hour. There are paid vacations and benefits are available for individuals and or families.

High Tech Composites is located in Melbourne FL. and relocation assistance will provided for people that qualify. I am helping Doug with his expansion and can forward resumes to the human resources department as they come in. Please provide a resume along with 3 work related references to jperog@hotmail.com

This would be a great opportunity for a young man to learn marine construction and boat building.

I tried to get in their door when they were still in Sebastian.
My timing sucked though and it was just before his popularity exploded :-)

Let me work on the Mrs. though about relocating to Melbourne :-)

...been there, done all that, in joe's ad above, for too many years to forget, including babysitting the 25+ man team to do it all. with that being said, i will join the old farts here, that have said they wish they were 20 years younger to join in. this kind of work is great for the young at heart with the energy & enthusiasm to learn more about the trade. the ONLY way to learn it, is by doing it day in & day out, in the glass/lamination shop, carpentry shop, metal shop, tooling shop, paint shop, advertisers, attending trade shows, boat shows, boat races & talking with hundreds of venders & suppliers & customers, and make'n it happen. although it can get old "mak'n" the donuts after many years, as they say, the biggest thing i miss about the composites business, is the people you work with & their enormous talent & friendships...

Just wondering how many young guys share our passion for performance boats? In our area, it's almost non-existent unfortunately.Most of the old go fast guys went to fast CCs.Sadly,a lot of the young guys don't want to work despite lots of good jobs .Again,this would be a great opportunity for the right person,or a 2nd career to pursue their passion

If I was single, I would be tempted to jump in. At 49, its a little different. But it still makes me think. Man, I wish I was younger, with much less junk......
I mean stuff!

Heck, there's more than one guy on here that I'd like to meet and work with, just to learn some more. My body betrays me

, but it doesnt stop my passion for motors and boats......and wanting to learn from the good guys.

**Speed Jr.** · 07-19-2021, 10:14 PM

Super cool Joe. If I could take the time off I'd come down and work for free just to learn the process.....Who better to learn from ya know?

I'd say the numbers are dwindling. In all the motorsports I'm involved in, I see more guys my age than any young fellas, whether it be out on the tracks, road, or water. Most the younger guys are into the wakeboard boats or PWC, how they can afford em is beyond me. The only motorsport I see the young guys in numbers is cars. Guess it's the cheapest and easiest thing to get in to.

Jet ski races get bigger every year down here. Young guys too. Cheap and easy to get involved in.

**Chaz** · 07-21-2021, 10:46 PM

It's sad that there are no young guys elbowing their way to the front of the pack , to be taught a trade. Probably our fault for spoiling our kids .. rotten.
Born here , flew here , or even swam the Rio-Grande , all probably should have to serve two years in the armed services.

My dad always thought that I never respected the value of a dollar .. I can't blame him. He went thru the crash of 1929 in N.Y. as a boy. I reckon starving for a few years never leaves you ..

What are todays kids pro's at ...

and ...

For those who want to travel back in time ... to get paid to learn the latest and greatest lay-up scheduling .. here's the reality check ...

Sit your young-old azz right here ...

Put one of these on the bottom shelf ..

To feed your new best friend ...

Rookie's start in the tunnel ... go in one end , roll out the other ...

Now look at the &^%$&**^$ mess you made ....

And remember .. when ya finally get home, take a cold-cold shower first ...

Then you can take a hot bath to deal with the arthritic pain .. everywhere ...
