Helbig, John Collamore III of Hulls Unlimited East Inc. in Deltaville, Va., and Whitey Laurier of Glass Marine of Hayes, Va., all came to Virginia about the same time and started turning out working craft modeled after traditional wooden deadrise boats.
At first, these three companies struggled to find direction in the Chesapeake shipbuilding market, where wood had always been the king and sailors were skeptical of fiberglass as a shipbuilding material.
One of Helbig's first commercial fishing clients was sailor Kenneth Boniville. He was one of the earliest people in the area to use fiberglass workboats. Now, as the son of Kenneth Boniville, Jeremy has been working on fiberglass boats since childhood due to his father's influence, which has encouraged him to persist in using glass boats.
