Carbon Double and 01 Empacher

I've recently finished work on a Predator Carbon double and a 2001 Empacher single. Both boats were in need of some holes fixed and a good clean. As the carbon double is black it showed up the hard water residue quite badly but with a Full Valet its now back to new. The Empacher is 15 years old and considering that is in good nick, but has suffered some tideway damage which i was able to sort as well as a good clean.

Full Valet of a Stampfli Single

Stampfli originated from Switzerland and have been a market leader in fine racing shells, Stampfli's have since been outsourced and built in Byfleet alongside the famous Janousek brand though I believe that the Swiss factory is still going.

This particular Stampfli is the very recognisable "tear drop" shape, with a very narrow and shallow bow and the widest point of the boat at the foot stretcher where the wing rigger is attached. This is a very popular shape and offers speed and stability.

This Stampfli has been booked in for a Full Valet as well as a Impeller fitting. The boat is in good condition but needed a good clean and polish through out as the white had started to turn yellow and had extensive limescale build up, as well as that it also had a few war wounds in the shape of some chips and scrapes all of which were filled and polished out. After a few hours the boat looks like new please have a look at some of the photos.

Past Work

Here are some pictures of some past work on small river cruisers including a full valet on an American built electric river cruiser and re antifouling of a coaching launch.
