It's time for a change. After 37 years building boats I'm moving into marine surveying. Following the launching of Wolf last July I started a qualification in marine surveying with the International Institute of Marine Surveyors early this year. A UK based course that's recognised globally. Pretty challenging going back to the books but the course is really interesting. My background in boat construction is of use but the field of surveying is much broader. I really had no idea what it encompassed. The diploma will take me into 2025 to complete, after which I'll be doing any sort of marine surveying, predominantly pre purchase inspections.
Until then I'm available for any insurance survey work. All boats older than 30 years now need a survey every 5 years or so. Easily planned in advance. I can travel to do your survey anywhere from Auckland north.
