Whether the work is a small issue diagnosis or a whole system rebuild, the same care goes into each wire termination and each cable run.
We see a real mix of sail and power vessels locally, with plenty of long-distance cruisers among them.
Each job gets the same care whether it's a £200 issue-find or a £20,000 setup rebuild.
