Wooden boatbuilding & maintenance

GRP repairs

Vessel condition report

We are pleased to offer a vessel condition reporting service. This has similarities to a survey in that it is qualified and experienced eyes looking over your vessel to look for potential issues. This service is tailored for the DIY boat owner, and will help give a steer on the high priority tasks on the vessel alongside the areas best tackled by a professional.

Please note, this service is not a survey as far as insurance is concerned.

Who we are

We are Sam and Dani Richardson, both qualified traditional wooden boat builders who have worked individually and together in the marine industry since 2012. We have worked on a whole range of vessels from super yachts overseas to small watercraft in local sailing clubs and want to lend our experience to your boating needs. Whichever of our services you are interested in we would love to hear from you to talk through how we can help
