Yesterdays assignment was a visit to Coxes Boatyard at Barton Turf- on the Northern Broads to Survey this little Yacht for Insurance purposes.
Westerly built their very first yacht in 1963; she was the Westerly 22. In 1966 they produced a different upper moulding that extended the cabin forwards, and renamed her ‘Nomad’. The extra internal volume provided enough space for the hull to be divided into two cabins, the forward one with two berths and the main cabin with two inward facing settee berths. Her galley at the forward end of the main cabin had a stove to port and a basin to starboard. She had a separate head and a proper hanging locker. Instead of keeping her gunter rig, she was given a taller mast for a Bermudan mainsail. Her hydrofoil twin keels, plus a substantial skeg forward of her spade rudder, made her suitable for taking the ground at half-tide moorings. I think I'm right in saying buyers of new boats had the option of equipping their yacht with an inboard diesel engine or an outboard, mounted in a well sited in the cockpit.
Coxes Boatyard is going through a substantial re -modernising programme this year.
They undertake all types of repairs, including engine and mechanical repairs, hull and decking repairs (wood and GRP), rigging, interior fittings and upholstery, glazing and electrics.
If you would like to talk with them contact Eric Bishop the Manager.
Wooden Boats
They have a wealth of experience in repairing and maintaining vintage sailing cruisers and classic wooden motor cruisers. In fact, their workshops still have their original soil floors, essential to ensure the correct moisture level so that the timbers of the boat do not dry out whilst under repair.You can be sure that your boat will be in safe hands and that the work undertaken will be to the highest standard, using only the best materials and traditional methods.
GRP and Modern Designs
You'll be pleased to know that they also have a great deal of experience working with modern boat designs. They are also experienced in working with electric and solar-powered boats, luxury power boats, and large cruisers. Whether the work is a cosmetic GRP repair, routine engine maintenance, or even just a change of upholstery, they have the expertise and experience to deliver a great service.
Routine Maintenance
They also undertake the full routine maintenance of your boat. Whether it's a full pre-season service, anti-foul and polishing, or end of season winterisation.
