MULTIHULL EXPERIENCE
Specialist Multihull Surveying
My experience has been built at the heart of catamaran design, construction and refit, but also through owning three multihulls and spending a year living aboard with my family.
This combination of professional and personal experience gives me a practical understanding not only of the technical aspects of a multihull, but also of the concerns and expectations of buyers and owners.
