I had like to say a big thank you to all my clients who stood by me during this challenging past year. The year was extremely challenging for everyone given the restriction of Covid and the lack of movement to see their boats and even work on them.
However, as the year opened up and there was an easing o restrictions and people were able to get out and go to their boats and get work done on them, life did start to return to a new normal.
In the early part of the year I was able to work through the Pandemic as I work alone for most of the time and during the early part of the year I did just that.
Over the course of the year work did start to come back into the yard, although a little slow at first, as people started to regain their freedom once more.
Many of the projects which were put on hold over the course of the lockdown have now restarted and are now back underway once more. The Morgan Giles 30 is now coming towards the end stages of her major restoration and hopes to come out of the workshop in the late spring or early summer. The picnic boat is also gaining speed as much of the interior work is now complete . So it is now time to get her out of the workshop and turned over to be able to fit the keel which will enclose the propeller shaft and fit the rudder at the same time. Before it then comes back in the workshop to get the decks covered with a mahogany and holly laid deck and the floorboards and engine box fitted and the engine finally bolted down in position. Then get the hull and bottom painted before it goes on sea trails..
The two motor boats in the yard will have their work finished off and returned to their owners and the Cornish Crabber will then be brought into the workshop to get her restoration underway again.
So in the meantime, We are looking to employ a skilled boat builder to help with the increased workload we have for 2023.
So if you are a boat builder who is up to a challenge get in contact with Simon on 07534045729 for a chat
