Marine Fabricator March/April 2023 - 25

Better is possible
An optimal address can only carry a
business so far, however; Charlton's
boating expertise and creativity set him
apart from the surrounding competition.
[See pages 30 and 37 for Charlton's
Marine Canvas' 2023 MFA Excellence
Award-winning projects.]
Sailing every weekend since he was
a child helped Charlton develop a level
of knowledge-and enthusiasm-about
boats that surpasses the knowledge base
of many customers and local canvas
shop employees. " I know exactly how a
sailor is going to sail their boat, where
the lines are going to come through the
enclosure and how they're going to use
it, so I design based on that, " he says.
There's also the fact that Charlton
is never not thinking about boats. " I'm
constantly dreaming up new ideas that
have never been done before; my mind
does not seem to rest. Money is an
important part of having a business, but
I really care about the work itself. Every
job is an art piece to me. I am always
asking, 'How can we do this differently?'
'How can we make this look better?'
Sometimes I'm even more excited
than the customer about all the ways a
project can enhance not only their boat
but their experience on the water. "
The skills he honed while working
for his parents kick into overdrive here.
" That job taught me that no matter
what challenge you are presented
with, there is always a creative way to
solve it. We made sure every customer
could drive, no matter what disability
they had, " Charlton recalls. " I have
" One of the biggest strengths of
our business is the fact that we
keep it small, allowing us to truly
customize each product. "
