Our hard working team working in the boat yard
Most of us own and sail boats on The Orwell and surrounding rivers, and so understand the needs of our customers and their boats.
The team is:
- Gus Curtis – yard manager
- Sarah Curtis – office manager
- Adam Hubbard – yard/launching worker
- Gerald Abbott – marine engineer
- Andrew Tweed – shipwright
- Dave Fisher – yard/machinery worker
- Lee Dunnett – boat painter
- Derek Harvey – stainless steel and metal fabrication
In 1989, Gus started working for Geoff King , grandson of Harry King. Gus and Sarah took over running the business when Geoff and his wife, Yvonne, retired in 2005.
