Recent work

Top Cat Lagoon 380

When it comes to keeping your boat looking shiny, a good wash, polish and wax is the way to go. This Lagoon 380 had a deep clean, leading to a topsides polish and wax protectant to create a lasting finish and a happy customer!

Darthound Dufour 36 Classic

This Dufour 36 Classic has received the full Solent Boat Care Treatment, Starting with a full Engine service and sail drive oil change, ensuring the engine is prepped and ready to go for the summer season ahead. We went on to deep clean the top sides and wash any remaining waxes off the hull, ready for polishing. After that, we prepped and sanded the hull for a new application of copper coat. After application and dried out we provided new anodes, deterring corrosion from underwater metals.

Vincinato International Cruiser

This International Cruiser has received a full wash, Polish and wax, aswell as a light sand and antifoul. As this boat sits quite heavy in the water, we raised the waterline upon request, allowing seaweed to stick to the anti-foul and deter rust stains from the hull, keeping it cleaner and easier to wash. We replaced anodes on both the trim tabs, as well as on the engine leg which was also sanded and painted for extra protection.

Dawn Spirit Nimbus 320

This Nimbus 320 was in desperate need of a polish to revive its blue hull and bring it back to life. And so, thats what we did! We provided a three stage polish, and she is as shiny as ever. Our customer wanted two coats of anti-foul, anodes replaces and a good wash down too, finishing with some teak treat to pull it all together. It was then dropped back into the water and transported back to its home berth safely by the team.

In Rainbows Bavaria c51 style

As one of the most beautiful boats in the fleet at Solent Boat Training, we knew we had to make sure that beauty was retained throughout the seasons. We started with a deep clean and wash on the top decks and hull to get rid of all the grime and green, continuing with a teak treat on the deck to revive the colour that was lost throughout a busy season. We then provided a polish to bring the shine and shimmer back to the hull and superstructure, and an antifoul to protect the bottom of the hull from growth and marine organisms.

Angioletta Merry Fisher 855

Another faded blue hull means top tier care for our customer and their boat. After a deep clean and wash, we provided a polish and wax. We then put three coats of Hempel anti-foul, alongside anodes for the bow thruster and trim tabs. The two Suzuki DF-200 outboard engines were serviced, roaring and ready to go for the season! And there we have it, She's ready to take on the waves!
