Project Supervision

New Build

Refits

Osmosis Repairs

New-Build Yachts

I provide a service for new-build yachts from the first selection of options and equipment to final sea trials and delivery. In the past few years I have supervised construction of power craft from 80' up to 95'.

The supervision process monitors the correct construction of the craft, and confirms that the owner-specified options and variations are installed.  I will advise you or your representatives when the payment stages have been reached. I have systems in place to liaise with builders and identify snags as they develop and are dealt with.

I can supervise work form any stage, but naturally it is more productive if I am in at the beginning stages of a project.

For more details please contact me for a consultation.

Yacht Refits etc

I have long experience of supervision of refits, alterations and repairs from drawing up specifications in accordance with your requirements, advising on suitable contractors, supervising the work, reporting on progress, up to the final delivery checks and trials.

Again, please call me to discuss the project you have in mind. 

Osmosis Hull Repair Supervision

Supervision of osmosis repair stages is a common task. Repairs will inevitably fail unless all stages are meticulously completed to the correct standard. In outline, the main tasks are to:

• ·       Agree the specification

• ·       Confirm the gelcoat removal and surface preparation is correct

  ·     Measure moisture content all over the hull, and mark selected spots to record and compare readings as the hull dries.

• ·       Confirm that the yacht's hull is ready for coating, and give the Yard the formal go-ahead.

• ·       Inspect the priming coat application.

• ·       Inspect any minor fairing and at least a part of the epoxy-glass lay-up process.

• ·       Inspect at least one of the protective epoxy coating applications

• ·       Inspect the finished repairs, and advise on the invoice.
