I started in the trade from the age of 15 as an apprentice in a local Cornish boatbuilding and repairs yard serving a 4 ½  year apprenticeship as a traditional boatbuilder/repairer.   Working on all types of craft including yachts,  lifeboats, Fishing vessels, passenger vessels and a wide range of m.o.d. craft.  Working to a high standard.  Meeting with Llyods and Mca standards where required.

Subsequently have continued in the trade of mainly extensive boat repairs for a further 19 yrs.  Covering just about all aspects of  yacht and boat repair work, in and around south east Cornwall and west Devon.

My work has been mainly concentrated on traditional wooden craft but does expand through to contemporary construction methods and applications.
