UP & RUNNING

Dec 2, 2008   //   by admin   //   BLOG  //  1 Comment

Just thought I’d quickly update the blog with what’s been happening since my last post. Apologies as this is will only be a brief update.

Jordan our Cabinet Maker and Stuart our Engineer started work with us in early November and have been busy getting the workshop ready. The first job was to make an office/reception area to ensure we could greet customers in a safe and quiet environment if the workshop machinery is in operation.
Area before…
Getting there..
Our machinery arrived in late November, we didn’t know where to start!

….but we’re getting sorted gradually.

Our new shell from Colecraft also arrived at around the same time, so its been busy! Jordan and Stuart quickly got on with fixing the windows in place and battening out. The boats already been sprayfoamed and roof linings are in. More fitout photos to follow.

The boat will be put into our hire fleet for the 2009 season, so we’ll be operating three boats next year. She’ll be named Aqua Vie.
Aqua Vie was the first boat to be craned in at Mercia Marina.
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve also taken an order for a bespoke boat build – work will start in Febraury!! Many thanks to Peter & Mel for there valued order. The team can’t wait to get started on the boat – it’s going to look fantastic. The boat will be available to view at the IWA show at Redhill Marina in August 2009.
Lastly, as we feel like we’ve not enough stress in our lifes just yet (yeah right..), we’ve organised an open weekend on the 3rd & 4th January – poster below. Please feel free to pop for a chat and look around our workshop and hire boats!

Until then have a very merry christmas!
Justin, Jane and team.
