Projects handled
My name is Jon Cotton. I have over 20 years experience working on all types of boats.
I started my trade as part of a paint team, working on a ship at a naval shipyard in Portsmouth.
I then went on to work at one of the biggest boat building companies on the river Hamble. Our projects were new build, carbon fibre racing yachts and also many repair jobs on a range of boats. We then went on to make many custom made carbon fibre superyacht tenders, ribs and workboats, to a very high standard. During this time i was heavily involved in the mould making; laminating, general build, fitting out and fairing and finishing of these specialist made boats. I then went on to work for one of the market leaders in mast making, based in Gosport. In this time I was involved in the build of carbon fibre masts, spars and components, fitting the masts out and spray painting both the carbon fibre and aluminium masts, components and fittings.
I later moved to Torquay and went on to work at a successful rib making company in south Devon. The project I was involved in, was the build of new grp rib, mainly as a laminator. After this time, I went on to work at boat renovating companies on the river Dart. My work was to repair, renovate and re-finish many types of yachts and motor boats.
With 20+ years experience in the boat industry I have built a passion for boats of all varieties; this passion led me to make the decision to start this company. Having gained a mass of skills needed to carry out the services offered to you with precision and care.
