Ordering a new boat from a builder is a tremendously enjoyable process. Many people however don`t have experience of ordering anything custom built. So here it will be completely transparent. You can be reassured right from the start that there will be no nasty surprises. It`s a really exciting time.

INITIALLY:
Please contact me via the ENQUIRY form. 
You can of course ring me in the workshop - number at the bottom of every page - but I may well be in the middle of a job I can`t leave, so you will get the answerphone. Either way I will reply as soon as I possibly can.

  • We discuss your special requirements, different designs, construction, budget, and so on.  (Please see More Information about this process.)
  • When we reach agreement on design, specification etc. and if you decide to go ahead, the agreed deposit is due.  This secures your place in my order book.

BUILDING:
I give you at least a month`s notice of when I will start.

  • When I start building, a stage payment is due.
  • You are always very welcome to come and visit the workshop, ask questions, and satisfy yourself that everything is being done as you wish.
  • As building proceeds, further stage payments are due.
  • Launch day approaches.

LAUNCH:

  • I encourage every owner to have a Launch Party.  Nearly everyone does. A delightful, convivial time is had by all.
  • The Balance on Completion payment is due. You proudly take your new boat away, planning exciting expeditions as you go.
