This is how to professionally install a car track. Glassed in ply with chamfered sides and round edges, bedded in resin, and with stainless fastenings. Not sure about the painted over teak decks, or the music I was subjected to. #boats #marinesurvey #yachtsurvey #yacht #Sailing

Forestay cable snapped at the upper swage on this 37' cruising yacht. Luckily this went in the marina, and the vessel had a keel stepped mast.... So poorly rigged. Very concerning. What if this went at sea? #boat #boating #yacht #rigging #sailing #sailingboat

Monday morning Sea Trial. Finally. The endless blue sky has returned! #sailing

Busy day on a detailed Pre-Purchase Survey of this Bavaria 42 Cruiser. When the buyers and owners (and all their belongings) are aboard and compliment the thoroughness of the work being undertaken, you know you've earned a cheeky post survey pint. #sailing #marinesurvey #yacht

We urgently need to ban bottom trawl-fishing in the UK's marine protected areas. This industry ❌ Indiscriminately harms marine wildlife ❌ Destroys vital habitat from corals to seagrass ❌ Deepens the climate crisis ➡️81% of the British public support a ban. Oceana UK

Refit works continue on SV Amigo in sunny Spain around surveys, report writing, rigging, and preparing to be a dad. #classicyacht #boatwork

Recent findings. Rough stainless surfaces like these T-bars can have microscopic cracks and irregularities that create stress concentration cells, making them prone to crack initiation. The only reason for this rough surface is to save money. #boating #sailing #rigging #yacht

Question to the boating public. Lithium batteries. Yay or Nay? #boating #sailing #yacht #batteries

Thorough percussion soundings undertaken on a GRP yachts' bow where initial signs of damage in the form of gelcoat crazing were inspected. #yachtsurvey #marinesurvey #boatsurvey #boating #yachting #working over #Easter

Pre-Purchase Survey completed last week on this Ocean Alexander 42 motor yacht. Some interesting findings that complicate matters but there you go, everyday is different in this world and boats never cease to surprise. The next stage will be to complete a sea trial! #boats

It's a slow and messy job but bedding and refastening fittings is a vital part of a refit, sealing the deck, fastenings, and the edge of the varnish from moisture ingress. #boating #yacht #yachting #marineindustry

8 quid for a Cornish pasty in London. That's insane.

Boom works almost completed on SV Amigo. 8 coats of Coelan marine varnish applied, after 2-3 coats of primer. A high strength, flexible, permeable and UV resistant coating that isn't without it's shortcomings, but is a solid choice for protection in the Mediterranean sun. #BOAT

Interesting article on 'shark skin' coating for aeroplanes, and has got me thinking about similar coatings for yachts..... independent.co.uk/news/science/a…

Chocked up for the summer as I prepare to change nappies and go without sleep this summer.

Engine shut down. Impeller out and greased. Flushed with fresh water mixed with coolant (corrosion inhibitor). Batteries disconnected. Fuel and valves shut. Rigging polished. Bilge dried. Water tank emptied. Fuel tank topped up. And that's only the start...... #boating #sailing

Stunning classic go anywhere 38' yacht for 50k. There are few designs, and even fewer modern designs, that will keep you safer than one like this. High stability, heavily built and easy on the eye. What more could you want from a yacht? #buchanan #yacht apolloduck.co.uk/boat/buchanan-…
