Composite & Gel Repairs
Composite work requires expert knowledge and skill to ensure a seamless finish. With a dedicated laminating workshop our team can accomodate a wide range of work ranging from full structural repairs to cosmetic hull and deck work, for both GRP and carbon. Composite construction and repair is both a science and a fine art, we can tailor a customised solution whatever your requirements.
Matrix & Keel Repairs
Slamming, grounding or over-stressing the hull in rough conditons or hard racing can all cause damage to the inner keel matrix. The keel, keel bolts and matrix should be inspected annually to identify any possible areas of de-bonding or areas of damage. In the event of damage being identified, as a professional repair yard, we can assist with a structural repair to meet your surveyors specification.
Osmosis Prevention & Repair
Osmosis is usually identified by the surface of a boats hull starting to blister; to avoid this occurring you may consider protecting your hull with our anti-osmosis gel shield and epoxy coating. If it's too late for a preventive approach, then we offer an extensive repair treatment.
