Recommendations for Marine Architect / Surveyor between Brighton and Southampton

[Boo2]

Hi,

The question is (almost) as per the title : I am looking for personal recommendations for a surveyor who can also perform the services of a marine architect and minor works project manager.

I am already aware of the lists / search facilities at the IIMS and the YDSA but am specifically looking for personal recommendations for people who can carry out all three functions I mention above, ideally, but not solely, from people who have had more than a survey carried out (IYSWIM).

Many thanks,

Boo2

Ask for Nick and tell him Mike sent you (he will probably charge you double! )
Seriously he may well do what you are after at a reasonable cost and he is based in the area.

Talk to Jim Pritchard.

He has surveyed all my own private purchases and acted for me against an insurance company when I lost a boat in a Hurricane. He has also built many boats.

I'm a yacht broker but am recommending him on a personal basis.

I can personally vouch for his work as a surveyor but not the rest

You might also consider Stuart Roy

He produced an excellent survey for me and also holds naval architect and chartered engineer qualifications

Thanks for all the replies so far. I am initiating contact with several of them but I would also be keen to hear about people fitting the bill and who are nearer the Brighton end of that section of coast if anyone knows of any ?

Thanks again,

Boo2

Go on then, tell us. What's this week's boat? So far all I know is that she has a keel stepped mast, needs significant work and you'd like to lift her by the chainplates ...

Hi Ubergeekian, the list of boats hasn't changed recently, I am currently considering :

5 Moody 31s
4 Colvic UFOs,
3 She 31s
2 Carter 33s
and an Elizabethan 33

OK, so I am not actively considering the Lizzie 33 ('cos of a bad osmosis job) and one of the C33s got cross when I tentatively named a lowball figure And the Moody 31s are entirely made up to fit the song But the rest are boats I've been considering for a while now.

But (hope I don't sound churlish) I really do need this thread to stay on topic as I have stuff to get on. Hopefully be a bit more explicit later when the deed is done...

You should blog the search. It could be just as entertaining as the various circumnavigation blogs - seriously.

John Cherry is the man for Moody. jc.yachtsurveys@ntlworld.com

Otherwise I second John Pritchard, Adrian White, Nick Vass.
Adrian White was very helpful to me before I had a survey done.

I didnt get on well with one other (not mentioned) who was the cheaper and actually did the survey, PM if you want to know his name.
