Our Marine Services
From haul-out to launch, our comprehensive service catalogue covers every technical discipline required to keep sailing and motor vessels in peak operational condition throughout every season.
Seasonal Haul-Out & Winter Lay-Up
We manage the complete haul-out process using our 40-tonne travel-lift, positioning each vessel on custom-fitted cradles with blocking adjusted to the hull form. Once ashore, we flush and winterise all raw-water systems, drain sea-cocks and pumps, fog engines with corrosion inhibitor, and disconnect batteries to trickle-charge mode. Bilges are cleaned and dried. We also apply a protective wax or shrink-wrap layer to deck fittings and hatches on request. At season end, each vessel undergoes a full visual survey and the findings are recorded in the storage file. Spring re-launch includes engine recommission, running rigging re-rig, and a sea-trial check before handback to the owner.
Hull Preparation & Antifouling
Clean hulls move faster, consume less fuel, and resist osmosis—so we invest heavily in preparation quality. Every hull is pressure-washed immediately after haul-out to remove fouling before it dries. We then sand or blast to the required substrate, apply epoxy osmosis barrier coats where needed, and finish with premium antifouling appropriate to the vessel's operational area (racing, cruising, or trailered use). All paint products used are EU-compliant low-biocide formulations applied by trained spray technicians in our enclosed paint bay, eliminating environmental contamination and achieving a far superior finish compared to open-air roller application. Waterline and boot-top lining is re-masked and striped as specified.
Engine Servicing & Mechanical Repair
Our engine bay team performs scheduled servicing (oil, filters, belts, impellers, zincs, fuel injection) and full mechanical overhaul across all common marine diesel and petrol platforms. Diagnostics are carried out with manufacturer-approved electronic tools, enabling accurate fault isolation before strip-down. We rebuild or replace heat exchangers, turbochargers, gearboxes, propeller shafts, cutlass bearings, and stern-gland assemblies. Sterndrive and outboard repair—including lower unit rebuild and trim system overhaul—is also available. After every engine service, a test run under load is performed and results logged. We liaise directly with parts distributors to source genuine components and maintain a stocked inventory of fast-moving consumables.
Rigging Inspection & Replacement
Rigging failure at sea is one of the most serious safety risks a sailor faces. Our rigging team conducts comprehensive standing rigging surveys, using dye penetrant testing on swage terminals and load-testing on chainplates where access permits. Wire and rod rigging approaching manufacturer life limits is replaced using grade-316 stainless or high-modulus Dyneema alternatives for weight-sensitive racing vessels. Furling systems are stripped, bearing races inspected, and foil sections checked for impact damage. Running rigging—halyards, sheets, guys—is measured for sheath wear and replaced using brand-matched cord to preserve winch compatibility. Mast steps and spreaders are examined for corrosion, and all work is documented with photographic evidence.
Marine Electronics & Navigation Systems
Our electronics engineers install, commission, and service the full range of navigation and communication equipment: chartplotters, multifunction displays, radar, AIS transponders, VHF/DSC radios, SSB, satellite communication, autopilot systems, and wind/depth/speed instruments. We design and install 12V and 24V distribution systems, shore-power panels, and inverter/charger setups including lithium battery management. NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 network integration is carried out according to current standards, with all circuits labelled, fused, and documented in a wiring schematic provided to the owner. Thermal imaging and insulation resistance testing are used to locate latent wiring faults before they cause failures at sea.
Osmosis Treatment & Structural Repairs
Osmotic blistering degrades hull integrity and resale value if left untreated. Our naval architect supervises a structured treatment programme: hull drying to below 15% moisture content (typically 90–120 days in covered storage), abrasive removal of all blistered gelcoat, moisture mapping, and application of a full epoxy barrier system using West System or Gurit products over multiple fairing coats. Structural repairs—delamination, keel-bolt corrosion, rudder stock replacement, and collision damage—are assessed and repaired to ISO 12215 structural standards. We also fabricate custom GRP components including locker lids, helm seats, and anchor rollers using in-house lamination facilities. All structural repairs are hydrostatic-tested before re-launch.
