Restorations of classic wooden vessels have included an S&amp;S Finisterre, a Robert Clarke Mystery Class and several Dragons and Loch Longs. We have also completed new builds, these have been private contracts and have included both Motor Yachts and Sailing Yachts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Compliance has also been a speciality. New builds have been certified to RCD Class A (ocean) and Class B (offshore) with technical construction files and owners handbooks prepared in house.
