Remote Inspection Service
|
|
I’m Nadine, a intermediate member to the club and a member of the No Man’s Land Team. I live very near to the club and have found myself out of work in recent times. Since access to the marina became a challenge for many I thought to offer my services for remote boat inspections.
|
As we are now looking to re-enter the water, you may also be looking at have routine maintenance or repairs done to your boat. My services can include obtaining quotes and managing the scheduling and logistics of these procedures.
|
I am also able to perform small maintenance task in-house such as servicing winches or checking rigging and sails.
