David C. Manning was a local marine surveyor and boating enthusiast in the Annapolis area for nearly 50 years. An expert in fiberglass repair and boat building, David was one of the most respected marine surveyors in the Mid-Atlantic. The industry could always call on him for a favor or to take a look at an issue that came up on any boat around. He was always ready to pitch in and lend a hand with moving a boat or figuring out how to fix a system or repair the fiberglass. The yachting industry has lost a true professional and a really great friend.
