Kicking Off The Summer Season: A Busy July Round-Up. |
NEWSLETTER 07/2026 |
A Quick Update on Neil. |
As those who know Neil will appreciate, he never stops. Following a recent back injury, Neil has undergone surgery and is now taking the time he needs to focus on his recovery. While he will still be available remotely to assist with boat sales and upgrade enquiries where possible, we kindly ask that all enquiries are directed to the office in the first instance. This ensures each enquiry reaches the right person and can be handled as quickly and efficiently as possible. We are delighted to say that Neil's recovery is progressing well, and all the team send their very best wishes for a speedy recovery. |
What’s Been Happening In The Workshop |
There is never a quite moment in the workshop during the summer months, and July has certainly been no exception. From preparing boats for the season, to carrying out major rebuilds and engine repowers, the team has been hard at work behind the scenes. |
Alongside our usual servicing and maintenance, the workshop has also been busy completing a number of exciting rebuilds, including this BRIG Eagle 6.7 and BRIG Eagle 8, helping to get even more boats ready for time on the water.
