Sprayline | Deck Extension and Swim-board Platform

/

The team have been hard at work on Sprayline, 2018. The professional and qualified shipwrights have extended the back decking and installed a swim-board platform for better use of space. The decking is practical, looks great and has safety features such as being anti-slip when wet or under difficult weather conditions. The swim-board allows for easy access to the water and is functional when fishing, scuba diving or snorkelling. Check out these before and after pictures!

Sirius - Restoration

/

We have been working on Sirius for a number of years now, ensuring the internal and external condition remains immaculate. From changing locks, repairing cabinetry and revarnishing exterior woodwork, our team are responsible for the maintenance of Commercial Ship, Sirius.

Joker

/

New mould and the installation of a fibreglass platform were fitted to provide balance to the previously small landing platform that was less than functional. The new platform is now stylish and practical.

Argo Navis

/

Argo Navis had extensive damage after being t-boned during a race off Freshwater Bay. It took close to an hour to remove the other boat from Argo Navis external surface. Extensive fibreglass work took place internally and externally as well as the rebuild of the galley and forward cabin areas. Following these repairs, we sprayed the exterior for a finish better than before the accident.

Sovereign

/

The Sovereign’s Owner, Alan used his skills to strip the deck of all hardware and removed the old teak deck prior to handing her over to our team. The Sovereign was repainted from the waterline upwards using Awlgrip 2000 topcoat paint. New Burmese teak decking was installed for a functional and stylish finish.

Maria - A Saloon Transformation

/

Maria, formally Scouts Honour had a saloon transformation to ensure a stylish interior matched the exterior of the boat. The saloon was stripped, and we reclaimed half of the downstairs second bathroom. The change in dimensions gave us room to install a washing machine as well as to extend the gallery over the top.

New lounge and seating areas were added to include the kitchen in conversations. A new cork deck was laid to provide a softer feel. We also extended the flybridge hardtop to give enough room and shade for a small party. 

Victoria 2

/

This Halvorsen had extensive damage to the ribs and planking mid ships which needed pulling back into shape. 12 new sister ribs were installed to the area. We steamed in a steam box and clamped into place for roving. The planks were then repaired, nailed and roved back into place. New caulking was then applied and puttied.

Maria - A Complete Interior Refit

/

Formally Scouts Honour

Helen & Jeff approached me to transform the saloon, outside areas as well as the name. The scope of works was to get the inside of the boat to flow to the outside & visa versa. We completely stripped the saloon & re claimed half of the down stairs second bathroom. This gave us room to put in a washing machine & to extend the galley area over the top of it. New lounge & seating areas were designed to involve the chef into the conversations from both interior & exterior. The whole fit out was designed & made on site in our Fremantle sailing club shed. The back deck had a cork deck laid to give it a softer feel. We also extended the flybridge hardtop to give enough room & shade for a small party. The last thing was to change the name to Maria.
