Painting 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.

Stocking up: new teak arrived
New high quality 'quarter sawn" teak has arrived at the Precision premises, estimated at market price of 3 million baht.
All teak is bought under license.
We source our teak independently, selecting only logs that meet our high standards and specifications.
Our logs are then converted into rough-sawn timbers and boards to our precise cut schedules.

Visit the East Marine
Precision Shipwright has been again very busy improving yachts over the past period. As always the work done was to the full satisfaction of the owners. 
Because the average cruising yacht is bigger today than 10 years ago and many yachts have deep keels, we are working on a way of lifting them with air bags to enable them to come into the restricted depth of the Boat Lagoon entrance channel; the vessel is lifted with airbags strapped under the hull thus reducing their draft. We have 10 cylindrical airbags 1.5M long by 80cm diameter, with a lifting capacity of 760Kgs each. We will use as many as each job requires. No more will our customer's movements be tied to the tide. Testing begins this month. 
With the development of marine facilities in Krabi and the completion of the new Krabi Boat Lagoon Marina, Precision and East Marine have decided to open a new workshop / chandlery in Krabi Boat Lagoon.
dimensions 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.
A 10 meter composite power cat, designed by Albatross Marine Design, is under construction at the boatyard of Precision Shipwright. The design offers great versatility allowing the owner to see personal requirements met in the yacht. There is an option for up to three separate cabins and the power options range from outboards to inboard shaft drive, depending on cruising plans. The L1000 is now up for sale! For more information see this page or you can contact Precision directly.
