Past projects

Pre-purchase survey on a remarkably dry Twister 28 MkII (also known as the 'Tuffglass' Twister). It's always a privelege to work on boats of this sort of beauty. This one is to a design by the late Kim Holman, whose obituary I wrote nearly two decades ago.   

The 21ft wooden motorboat Pecheur had reached the end of her life. The owner wanted to know her full condition and the feasibility of a restoration. 

Westerly spanned various phases. Like so many British yacht builders,  the company underwent a dizzying succession of owners, mergers, directors and more. The Oceanquest 35CC, introduced in 1996, is typical of their late work. In its centre-cockpit configuration, as here, it features one of the biggest aft cabins you'll see on a boat this size.  

The 36ft (11m) twin-screw, carvel-built Ona II reached Dennetts for deep restoration in June 2024, having spent five years deserted in Paris. Her condition was not far from the stage where you would think bonfire or replica. Aquamarine carried out this report for boatbuilder Steve Dennett. Ona II is now fully restored.
