Touch and Go Fairy 2000 Swordsman
After a rough passage from Weymouth,
one of Touch and Go’s diesel tanks split and left the cabins full
of diesel, damaging the interior woodwork and frame work. The fuel
tanks were too big to take out of the boat and so MarinePro UK's
solution was to design and build new tanks. We constructed 2 tanks
out of aluminium, and fitted them with new fuel hoses and cross over
valves. MarinePro UK replaced the interior woodwork and painted the
bulkhead.
Swanilda's owner employed MarinePro UK
to deliver the vintage yacht from St. Lucia, West Indies across the
Atlantic and then prepare the yacht for the Cowes Classic Regatta
“I starting using
MarinePro UK’s services when my regular "boatman" moved
on, they look after my classic Fairy motor boat and my classic
Nicholson yacht, carrying out excellent repairs and renovations and
keeping both boats in first class condition, as I require. MarinePro
UK`s work is exemplary, their contacts legendary, and always on time
and to estimate, I have no hesitation in recommending them." -

MarinePro UK assisted Ashdown Marine in spray painting
the new livery to Team Sanya's hull. The boat was stripped back to
carbon before an undercoat was applied. MarinePro UK then spray
painted the intricate design (158 different colours) on the boat.
MarinePro UK also prepared and sprayed the deck and interior of the
Volvo 70.
MarineProUK were part of the Ashdown
Marine team that flew to Lisbon, Portugal to assist in an urgent fix
to a major flaw in the original hull paint job. Set a very tight time
schedule, MarinePro UK stripped, repainted and polished below the
water line, keeping the professionally painted design intact.
MarinePro UK were also commissioned to spray the full deck with
non-skid paint.
MarinePro UK managed and executed a
mid-season refit to Chaos for her owner. The engine and other areas
of the boat needed immediate attention. MarinePro UK removed the
engine from the boat for reconditioning, replacing wire looms,
starter motors, and starting panels. Chaos' hull was also
meticulously painted with white Durapox, and polished to race-spec
finish. After the racing season, Chaos was back in the MarinePro UK
shed to have a large makeover including; newly painted decks, new
deck gear and systems, and a new vinyl design to her hull. MarinePro
UK project managed the full race campaign for Chaos 2013 season.
Running logistic, team selections, maintenance, and race campaign.

for our two sailing yachts and our motor yacht. MarinePro UK has
always provided me with a on-time and fair priced service. MarinePro
UK is very pro-active, helping make positive changes in all areas,
and nothing is too much for them. I would recommend using MarinePro’s
services to any boat owner."

11th Hour Racing Class 40 2013
Rob Windsor and Hannah Jenner's Class
40 for the 2013 Transat Jaques Vabre. MarinePro UK was commissioned
to assist with preparation of the yacht for the race from France to
Brazil. MarinePro Uk stripped all antifoul from the boat, repainting
with Hi-Build epoxy primer and Nautix Antifoul and finished with the
paint flattened back and turned race ready.
"Marine Pro UK redid the bottom on the Class 40 for the 2013 TJV. Bryan and his crew exceeded my expectations on the price and the result.The Team at MarinePro UK have got a great attitude toward working on boats, and produced great results for us under Bryan's management.
I am happy to give my recommendation to Marine Pro UK for any and all boat work, they certainly did a great job for me." - Rob Windsor
After competing in the Global Ocean
Race, Phayesha-Racing was refitted by MarinePro UK to be ready for
the 2013 offshore season. MarinePro UK stripped all existing antifoul
from the hull, and painted her with a replacement antifoul. After
branding the hull and polishing the topsides, MarinePro Uk inspected
the rig and after consultation carried out repairs and renewals to
the rigging.
“It is important that
when you go to sea that you feel that the hull and the appendages
have been looked after and Marine Pro did a great job in April before
Phesheya-Racing (Class 40) was splashed for the summer. Phesheya came
out of the water for the first time in October, the antifouling still
looked good and the topsides were still shining. Marine Pro's
communication was excellent and very helpful.'' - Phillippa
