How can you help with my boat repairs and maintenance?

The TC Marine boatbuilders crew are qualified and experienced craftsmen in a diverse range of boatbuilding, from composite repairs, detailed timber joinery and painting through to osmosis repairs and modern vacuum infusion. We work closely with a wide range of subtrades from engineers, sail makers, stainless steel fabricators, electricians, plumbers and many more. Our office team ensure the smooth running of every project for cost efficiency. No matter how big or small your job is, we have you covered.

We understand you want to get back out on the water as soon as possible. Once we have assessed the work involved, we can discuss what’s required and provide you with costings and time estimates. You can count on clear communication throughout project and there will be no nasty surprises or unnecessary delays.

It is always best if we can view the boat, but if that’s not possible, you can provide us with photos and more information for us to assess the work.

Once the work is assessed, we will provide you with an estimation of work and associated costings. Sometimes, once work begins, things can come up. If this happens, we will contact you right away and talk you through the options. Communication is important to us, and we will make sure you are completely up to date throughout the process.

Some of our projects

Dream Girl

75ft mono hull, approx. 80tonne.

Work completed in shed space.

Came in to remove teak decks as there was moisture seeping up from beneath them.

The team manually crow barred the teak off the side decks and foredeck and planed from the cockpit.

Some areas on the side decks had delamination and rot. The rot was dug out and surfaces were prepped back to good substrate. PVC foam was inserted and glued in.

The surfaces were very uneven, so we filled then glassed to bring up to an even level so the water wouldn’t pool.

Coves were run then glassed going up onto the bulwark, filled and faired and uundercoated

The boat is also in for a complete repaint. To reach the extensive height, a scaffolding company has erected a multi layer structure.
