Surveyor for a wooden boat in Hamble?

[burgundyben]

I'd like to draw on the advice of a surveyor with particular experience of wood boat construction, familiar with hot moulded hulls would be useful too.

David Hopkins? Roger Pimm? Anyone else?

Hello Ken, long time no speak.

The best man would have been Peter Foulkes who sadly passed away last year, he apprenticed with Tom Richardson at Elephant too.

Clive Smith at Freshwater, IOW (tel 07941-141604). He is on the 'North Island' quite a bit / lot.
Being or was a boat owner he has also been very fair when carrying out surveys for me.

Adrian White ... did a good job for me on a wooden boat ... reasonable fees.

David Hopkins?

I would be pretty confident in Hoppy doing a thorough job.

Charlie Rossiter

I have found him to be very thorough and knowledgeable. He also charged a very reasonable rate.

When wood is concerned I would only use Hoppy
He's an A1 shipwright and manages many large wooden yacht projects
