Where larger components require fabrication we use reputable local business to assist. Our operators are fully trained and certified.
Maintenance & Painting
Our experienced painters will ensure that your vessel is looking sharp. As soon as your vessel arrives and is hauled out of the water, she will be jet washed and prepped for painting. We offer a full paint service, antifouling the hull, glossing the top sides and internal spaces. We also offer epoxy painting with any GRP work undertaken. We use marine paint from Hempel, Teamac, International and Jotun.
Slipping Vessels
Hauling / slipping vessels out of the water can be stressful and intense for both owners and the director in charge of leading the slipping. To ensure that we get it right every time, we have a set procedure, all staff know what they have to do and where they need to be. We also ensure that we slip the vessels on a spring tide to ensure the cradles can get low enough / the boat high enough on the slipway for ease of hauling out. We also always begin slipping on a rising tide, so that we have the maximum time available. Slack water is also a key factor at Corpach, the tide can catch you out on Loch Linnhe.
We are able to take vessels up to 8m wide and 200 tonne. Dependant on the height of the vessel, we are able to haul the boat right up into the shed, making it easier to work on when it’s raining outside.
