Welcome to Bow2Stern
Green upgrades and low-energy living. The rapid pace of technology means more and more customers are asking me to make their boats energy-efficient. Solar is the obvious first step and I can help you source the best and most affordable panels and kit and set it up how and where you want it.
Fit-outs right first time. If you're planning your layout and utilities, let's have a chat over a cuppa. I'll steer you through the latest trends so your boat is cost-efficient, comfortable, and compliant.
There are many ways to get things wrong and a lot fewer ways to get it right. Owing to my encounters with the former, I can give you sound advice on the latter.
In fact, if you're full of ideas but unsure they'll work, I'm the ideal sounding board.
Every boat has its quirks, but most things are possible within reason. The one thing I can help you avoid is remorse; the realisation that what was done in haste is either unsafe or impractical and needs to be taken apart and done again (I have excellent contacts in the timber trade), all the electrics and plumbing, plus your energy-saving off-grid tech that you can run manually or use with an app on your phone.
Where are you? On a marina? No problem. I'm a familiar face on most marinas in Northamptonshire and South Leicestershire, and my Public Liability Insurance makes me the safe, local choice.
Towpath? It's my natural habitat! Equipped for all weathers and impervious to mud, if I can park my van nearby, it's game on.
Regulations and paperwork? Rest easy. I adhere strictly to BSS/RCD standards, meaning it's right first time and your boat will literally sail through its examination. I can advise you on the latest changes in legislation, on the hurdles you need to clear if you want to fit-out your sail-away or upgrade your boat to optimise it ready for sale.
A bit about me
I have many years of hands-on experience in handling electrical, mechanical, and plumbing installations. I have successfully executed numerous boat fit-outs to exceptionally high standards, whether on the towpath or on a hardstanding.
I am able to undertake projects at your marina, subject to approval of your marina manager, as well as at garden moorings or on the towpath,
All of my work adheres strictly to BSS/RCD requirements, ensuring compliance and safety.
Upon request, I can provide a Public Liability Insurance certificate for your reference.
Whether you require minor repairs, installations, or comprehensive fit-outs, Bow2Stern is the trusted choice.
