Gary, is our top refinishing expert. It has taken many years of experience and study
of refinishing techniques and latest paint technology to enable him to provide the top quality finish that will probably be
better than the original. He has also studied grp (glass reinforced plastic) layup and repair including strengthening
weak keel attachment points and osmosis problems and treatments.
Ian, our preparation expert believes that if you can see his work then it has not been
done properly, hour after hour of sanding and filling provide the ideal surface for Garys' refinishing.
He has also been an apprentice to his father Mick (our engineer) for many years and is now competent to
carry out more advanced work on boat engines and has inherited his fathers attention to detail to make sure that any
work he undertakes will be to manufacturers specifications to lessen any chance of a fault occuring. I am told he also makes
a nice cup of tea.
