01
Will not lift
Foot switch, then the solenoid, then the cable run, then the motor. In that order, because that is the order of cost.
Windlass and deck gear
The windlass that will not lift, the chain counter that lies, the gypsy that slips a link every turn. The one failure that ends a day at anchor and cannot be worked around.
Before we get there
Stop using it. A windlass that is drawing current but not turning is burning its motor, and the foot switch is usually the cheap part that failed. Buoy the chain and call.
What usually goes wrong
02
Chain slips on the gypsy
Wrong gypsy for the chain, or a worn one. We measure the chain before ordering anything; half the slipping we see is 8 mm chain on a 10 mm gypsy.
03
Bow roller and chain locker
Chain that castles in the locker jams the windlass from below. A taller locker or a shorter drop fixes it permanently; we make the part here.
04
Passerelle, davits and gates
Hydraulic rams, gas struts and the stainless that carries them. Made and welded at our own yard rather than ordered and waited on.

Why call us
Six reasons, and none of them is a slogan
We run seventeen boats ourselves
Every failure on this page has happened to us first, usually with guests aboard and usually at the worst hour. That is where the diagnosis order comes from.
Parts at cost, invoice shown
We charge for labour and travel. The supplier invoice goes to you unchanged, and nothing is added after the job without asking you first.
A price before anyone gets in the van
You get the likely fault, the likely cost and an arrival time in writing before we leave the yard. If it turns out to be something else, you hear it before we open anything.
Ninety days on our labour
If the same fault comes back within ninety days we return without charging for the call-out. Parts carry whatever the manufacturer gives them.
We work on boats we never chartered
Private owners, other charter companies and boats passing through. Our own fleet only jumps the queue when two calls land in the same minute.
Our own yard behind us
Carpenters, a welder and a paint crew at Bozburun, so a bracket that would take two weeks to order is made the same afternoon.
Other services
Six disciplines, one call
Engine and generator
Won't start, overheating, no charge, black smoke or a generator that trips under load. The four failures that end a charter, and the ones we carry parts for.

Marine electronics
Plotter, autopilot, radar, AIS, VHF and the NMEA 2000 backbone that ties them together. The part of the boat most yards on this coast will not touch.
View details
Electrics and batteries
Flat house bank by two in the morning, an inverter that trips, shore power that will not connect, or a lithium conversion done properly instead of dangerously.
View details
Rig and sails
A jammed furler in a rising meltemi, a halyard lost up the mast, a torn leech, or the rigging inspection your insurer asks for every ten years.
View details
Plumbing, cooling and air conditioning
Air conditioning that stops at anchor in August, a watermaker making nothing, a fridge that runs all night, and the head nobody wants to talk about.

Underwater and hull
A rope round the propeller in Bozukkale at seven in the evening. A diver in the water, the shaft cleared, and no lift out of the water.
