A Special welcome to Martin Clapton our new retail shop manager. Martin has come to us with a wealth of boating retail and wholesale experience. Martin also has a trade background in fibreglass boat-building and is a keen boater himself. In addition to owning and re-building his own powerboats Martin is also a keen white water power dinghy racer. We will be training him up on Louis’ big sailboat over the summer and all ready he is making great progress with the sailing stuff. Martin is the clean and tidy well spoken one, he hasn’t taken up too much of our bad influence ….yet!

Also welcoming Glenn Thomas as our permanent part-timer. Glenn brings to us a wealth of sailing, kayaking and fishing experience and is currently sailing a laser. With his vast fishing experience he may even be able to show Lous how to bait a hook which will be very handy on week-ends up at ‘ledge’! Glenn managed Marine World for a while and has also spent some time at Bluewater tackle and Marine.
