Pre-Purchase Yacht Survey.
2022 Nautitech Open 40 catamaran.
Notable keel, rudder and rigging issues inspected. We did our job, and our client was v.happy, yet sadly the owner was belligerent and bitter.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Business Review

'Meticulous and thorough from start to finish, leaving no detail overlooked. His communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Theo to anyone needing a reliable and expert surveyor, and I would certainly choose to work with him again.

Out for the summer as life has got in the way this time.
Sorry old girl. We'll sail again soon.
Obviously I don't want to give the impression that I resent my unborn child....

Boom works almost complete on SV Amigo. 8 coats of Coelan high gloss varnish applied, after 2-3 coats of primer. A high strength, flexible, and UV resistant coating that is a solid choice for long lasting protection in the Mediterranean sun.

Beach walk along the more peaceful parts of the Málaga province.

#photography #spain #beach #sun

That's the stuff. I think atleast 7 topcoats is recommended.

Theo made a survey for us and we were totally amazed to see how skillful he is. The details were wonderful, showing a good level of expertise. His meticulous professionalism can be seen throughout the long report, detailed explanations, and recommendations'

Coelan clear varnish. There are 2 pigment primers: yellow and red. You see the red, the yellow is planned for the lighter spruce spars. It's good stuff. Expensive, but UV resistant, tough, elastic. You will go through alot of brushes. Don't waste the thinners on attempting to keep the brushes alive!

Coelan varnish going on thick. Several coats later. This stuff really needs working in but with effort you get great results.

Refit works continue on SV Amigo in sunny Spain around surveys, report writing, rigging, and preparing to be a dad.
