Sailing the J Hanuman in Newport 2009 Given the sophisticated and complex nature of modern yachts, the need for the owner to have on-site professional representation throughout the entire design, specification, bidding and tendering process, is greater than ever and is key to the success of the project. The on-site representation I offer throughout this process in the owners interests raises the level of project organization, ensuring that the vessel is properly constructed and equipped, keeps the necessary budgetary constraints intact whilst ensuring scheduling goals are met. Once the vessel has completed acceptance trials, I also offer complete continuity in the form of full post-construction support for the owner, captain and crew . This continuity translates into faster problem-solving, less down-time and lower operating costs for vessel owners. I routinely assist in resolving warranty issues, procuring best value replacement parts and am often called upon to manage modifications that may subsequently be desired.
