outhcentral Alaska is fi lled with spectacular
natural beauty, hardworking people and an
array of fi shing boats and other vessels that are
often in need of repair. The latter fact creates an
opportunity for Monica and Mike Stockburger,
owners of Salty Cushions in Homer, Alaska, the " Halibut
Fishing Capital of the World " on the scenic Kachemak Bay
200 miles south of Anchorage.
" I've seen a lot of bad boat repairs
and repaired a lot of bad canvas, "
says Monica Stockburger. " I analyze
what caused the item to fail. When I
fi x it, I challenge myself, 'Is that the
best repair I can make?' "
Stockburger isn't just concerned
with durability. " I also want to make
the cushions more comfortable and
attractive, " she says. " Every boat is
unique, so I design solutions that fi t
the specifi c boat, just like you tailor
garments to fi t a specifi c body. "
Salty Cushions specializes in
interior and exterior cushions, biminis,
bimini frames and other
fabrication services for larger boats,
especially ones longer than 30 feet.
" People tend to spend more time
on these larger boats, so they need
better living and sleeping conditions, "
says Stockburger, who notes
that these vessels are typically commercial
fi shing boats or charter
boats for fi shing or whale watching.
Commercial fi shing crews often
spend months at a time on a boat,
which can be especially tough on
the cushions because of the close
quarters and daily use.
" We're not going to make something
that will just get you through
one season, " Stockburger says.
" We're going to provide solutions
that help you and others enjoy
your boat more and motivate you
to spend more time there. "
Resourceful beginnings
This practical approach guides
Stockburger, who was born in
Brazil and emigrated to the United
States with her parents when she
was young.
