With Southampton Boat Show 2011 now only a couple of weeks away, it is a fantastic time to pick up some bargins from the various suppliers of marine equipment and off course new and pre-owned yachts and motorboats.
We will be in attendance at the show this year and available to assist customers interested in purchasing a new yacht/motorboat or considering the purchase of a pre-owned vessel from one of the many second hand shows running on the South Coast.
Hamble Marine Surveys are very proud to unveil the re-fitted vessel 'Fochintulla'. After laying stationary afloat for over 4 years, this steel vessel has undergone a full refit including complete external re-painting, coppercoating, and all her installed systems checked, serviced and updated. We are very proud to have achieved such a fantastic transformation, and in only 2 weeks!
With the ARC race fast approaching at the end of the year Hamble Marine Surveys have just completed another yacht preparation project whereby we have provided advice and support in preparing a yacht for the trip down to the Canary Islands ready for the departure for the Caribbean. With the supply of Ocean Safety equipment central to our role and correct fitting and training as part of our service the customer and yacht are now ready.
This service is becoming popular for concerned yacht/motoboat owners who at the end of the year may find a blister or two or have deeper concerns about the state of their GRP hull. With coating system improving and the cost of epoxy treatments coming down owners are looking to the future.
Much like buying a house, most insurance and finance companies these days require a valuation or condition survey. The advantages of a survey for these companies are clear, regrettably for the boat owner another expense. Hamble Marine Surveys are able to offer a quick and cost effective survey looking only at those items on the vessel that are relevant so keeping the costs down.
