- Beverly, MA
I’ve been working in the marine industry for over thirty years primarily in the care and repair side of the business. Eighteen years ago, I began surveying vessels under the tutelage of a local veteran surveyor before his retirement. Whether it’s inspecting your current vessel or helping you make an informed purchase for you and your family. I approach vessel inspections with a very experienced eye towards keeping you safe and your vessel seaworthy.

On the day of a survey a great deal of material is discussed. It is not uncommon that I get an email or phone call long after the survey is done to get a refresher on how to attack a project that we spoke about during the survey. I welcome and enjoy those calls. Below is an example of an email I get.
“I’m going to tackle resealing the Genoa car rail this weekend. Some reading online suggests different approaches, sealant, Butyl tape etc. I’m going down the 3M 5200 route. Any tips or advice?
Hope all is well”

Back in 1984 I was doing some work on a boat that my wife and I ultimately chartered for our honeymoon. We left Beverly. MA and sailed up the coast of Maine and enjoyed three weeks of blissful cruising. The vessel was a Robert Perry deigned Valiant Esprit 37. I had been interested in these successful Perry designs since the mid seventies and in particular the 40′ version. The Valiant 40 has a reputation for sea kindly swiftness and they have proven their merit by winning multiple ocean races and safely transporting cruising sailors throughout the worlds oceans. Suffice to say, by the end of the honeymoon, I was drinking the Valiant Kool Aid.
