J-Star Marine Services 

I run a small business called J-Star Marine Services  and spend my days repairing, maintaining and refitting sailing & Motor boats (often the range of Classic Hardy Marine boats from the 1980-1990's due to my long experience of building and maintaining them). I'm mostly work in and around North Essex  in  the UK.  Being a cruising and racing sailor with many thousands of inshore and offshore sea miles logged on a number of different types and sizes of craft. I like to think that I bring a great deal of real-world experience to my work and help many new (and not so new) boat owners to improve and maintain their boats.  When I'm not fixing boats I also provide some own-boat sail and motorboat training, help owners with deliveries, provide pre-purchase inspections and deliver consultancy services to those that are refitting their own boats for cruising or racing. So if you wish to have a chat, just call in at my yard in Walton on the Naze.
