Rudder specialists — it’s what we do.

This Prima is no exception.

Failed bearings and a compromised rudder stock, combined with water ingress, meant that this 20-year-old system required a complete redesign rather than simply a repair.

Working alongside Jefa, we’re installing new bearings and a new rudder stock, with a full renewal of all associated components. Structural glass work is now well underway as we rebuild the system to modern standards.

From assessment and strip-out through to engineering, structural repairs and final installation, all aspects are being undertaken in-house at our Plymouth Yacht Havensite by our team of time-served specialists.

Modifications completed by the onsite fabricator DB Fabs , trusted service for all your maritime requirements.

When it comes to rudders, we know what we’re doing.

Another specialist repair from NBYR — a service that counts.

The next stage of this major refit on this 55ft motorboat is nearly upon us!

Fantastic work from the team to get her to this stage. After an unprecedented amount of preparation, she is now fully prepared and ready for the application of Awlgrip to the topsides.

As we always say, the paintwork is only as good as the preparation beneath it — and this one has been no exception. Countless hours of meticulous preparation have gone into getting her ready for the finish she deserves.

Now comes the exciting part… laying down the paint and watching the transformation take place.

We can’t wait to see this one come to life. Another major transformation underway!

A major milestone reached on the extensive refit of this 55ft motorboat from our Plymouth Yacht Haven site

The amount of preparation invested in getting these topsides to the priming stage has been unprecedented. Meticulous preparation, countless hours and incredible attention to detail from the team have brought her to this point.

She’s now curing and ready for the next stage of preparation before the topcoat is applied. Scaffolding is already being erected, ready for the spray booth to be created around her.

A huge well done to the entire team for their due care and attention throughout every aspect of this project. The results speak for themselves.

Paint means progress and this one is going to be something special.

Another EVO decking installation completed in the cockpit of this Elan yacht from our Plymouth Yacht Havensite.

The failed cockpit seating throughout was meticulously removed, with the substrate then carefully prepared ready for its transformation.

Design, manufacture and installation of the new Evo decking — all completed in-house by our team of time-served marine decking experts.

As ever, every aspect of the project completed on time and on budget, with the attention to detail and finish you’d expect from Plymouth’s marine decking experts.

Providing a service that counts.

Our gelcoat specialist is, as ever, working his magic on this Oyster yacht from our Plymouth Yacht Haven site.

As insurance-approved marine specialists, we’ve been commissioned to carry out a comprehensive programme of repairs following a collision.

The first stage has involved multiple structural and cosmetic repairs to the topsides, with our specialist team carefully restoring the damaged areas to the required standards.

Next, we’ll move on to the removal of the existing pulpit and stanchions, with the onsite fabrication specialists DB Fabs producing and installing new 316 stainless steel components.

To finish the project, our shipwrights will carry out repairs to the teak capping rail, bringing everything back together to complete the
Insurance repairs.

Next one in at our Yacht Haven Quay site.

This one is in for the full underwater hull treatment, and our team of specialists are already well underway following the initial shot blasting process to remove the existing coating system.

The hull will now be fully abraded to achieve the correct substrate profile before comprehensive moisture readings are taken. Once the hull reaches the required moisture levels, we’ll begin applying the epoxy primer system to the specified micron thickness, ensuring the perfect foundation for the remaining stages of the treatment.

As always, there’s no cutting corners. Every stage is carried out to the highest standards, following the correct processes and manufacturer specifications to deliver a finish that will stand the test of time.

Stay tuned as another full transformation gets underway.

• Complete paintworks with extensive filling and fairing
• New EVO decking throughout

It won’t be long before the topcoat starts going on, and that’s when this project will really come to life.

Doing what we do best – transforming your pride and joy.

The owner of this 20-year-old Dufour Yachts came to us with a clear vision, and after extensive consultation we developed a refurbishment plan to bring it to life.

She was booked into our Yacht Haven Quay facility where the transformation began. The tired teak decks were removed throughout before the substrate was meticulously prepared for the design, manufacture and installation of premium EVO decking across all deck areas. Expertly completed by our team of time-served marine decking specialists, it’s another example of why we’re Plymouth’s proven experts in marine decking.

The project didn’t stop there. Additional works included:
• New through-hulls and pipework throughout.
• Bespoke stainless steel fabrication by DB Fabs.
• Multiple colour-matched gelcoat repairs.
• Full detailing to finish.
• Complete rigging renewal by Hemisphere Rigging Services

Projects like this showcase exactly what we do—delivering comprehensive yacht repairs and refits to the highest standards, with every trade managed under one roof.

Another fantastic result and another delighted owner.
