About Arthur

Sailing since childhood, a career in the marine trade was an obvious way for Arthur to go. Since starting a Saturday job maintaining vessels for a local brokerage in 2000 Arthur has gained experience in many aspects of vessel maintenance & management ranging from privately owned vessels to fleets of racing yachts across a variety of makes & models including Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria, Dufour, Sealine, Fairline, Princess & Sunseeker, as well as running maintenance for one of the UK’s largest cruising & race charter fleets. A keen sailor himself means that Arthur will always be looking out for new ways to improve a vessel & its systems without breaking the bank.

When not working Arthur can often be found on the water cruising or racing with friends and has competed in multiple events in the UK and Europe, as well as deliveries between many destinations within UK waters & abroad.
