Simon is a marine surveyor providing surveys on yachts and small craft for both first time buyers and experienced sailors alike. Covering mainly the South West of England and South Wales his work takes him all over the country helping Clients to better understand the condition of the boats they already own or are thinking of buying.
Born and raised on the inland waterways - his father owned a steam narrow boat - Simon now focuses on sea going vessels. A keen sailor himself, he owns the wooden 50’ Laurent Giles ketch, September Moon that he recently sailed to the Baltic and back. He also owns a classic 1964 Aqua Craft ski boat that he restored himself.
Have all service records, warranty documents and invoices to confirm major repairs and renewal of major equipment available. Invoices for Standing Rigging and for Sail Drive Gaskets and Stern Drive Bearings and Bellows are very important. Try to locate the Invoices rather than Quotations.
