Mobile painting shelter ready
In order to cater to even more yachts, a mobile painting shelter has been constructed at Precision Shipwright Services. The initial
xcvxcvdimensions are 20 m long, 9 m wide, 7.5 m high and even further extendible in the future. The shelter offers yacht owners improved spray painting options year round. It fits inside the main painting facility as sealable paint cover for yachts in the factory, to protect the painting activities from other work going on in the factory.
The main advantages over other types of tents on the market are obvious. Structurally stronger, safer to work in, better working conditions, better quality of work, and quickly employed (it can seal a yacht on the outside hardstand within 15 minutes).

Developing unique flotation system

Precision Shipwright Services has started work on developing a vessel flotation system. Its main purpose being to reduce the draft of vessels up to 50 tons by up to 50 cm. For lighter boats the draught can even be reduced by up to 80 cm. This floating system will allow boats more flexibility in entering and leaving the Phuket Boat Lagoon.
The system is now under construction and will be ready in three to four months.

Paint work on location in Hong Kong
SY Sunshine was originally re-painted at Precision at the end of 2010. The large sailing yacht was damaged during haul-out in Hong Kong and wear and tear on the paintwork due to dinghies, moorings, etc. The owner asked Precision to come out to do the fairing and painting. The job took 4 days. With Precision in Hong Kong the owner of SY Moonblue II (the yacht being damaged by a dredging barge) requested Precision services for fairing and painting of the damaged hull parts. After 2 days of touch-up work on Moonblue II the owner was very content with the invisible repair.
Precisions MD Scott Bradley flew to Hongkong with all the handheld equipment and spray guns to accomodate these yachts. This is done as a service to existing clients and not a regular business activity.

SY La Cardinala leaves Precision
During the winter period of 2011 La Cardinala (a 75 ft Vallicelli) was in Phuket for a complete refit. At the boatyard of Precision Shipwright Services Scott Bradley and his team worked relentlessly for four months on every detail of La Cardinala. The launch in May showed a very happy owner and a yacht that looked better than new! Many crucial parts of the yacht were replaced or painted: a brand new teak deck, a new navy blue colour, mast & new rigging, new mechanical and electric systems, and many things more. The interior got some redesign and new varnishing too without changing the warm and intimate atmosphere for which La Cardinala is famous.
