Ian and Pete run a company specialising in refurbishing second hand boats, the majority are 1-4 year old boats from Minorca Sailing Holidays predominately from the Laser and RS range.

Many boats are sold into Europe: particularly Lasers to Norway, Sweden, Germany, Holland, Italy, Ireland and Spain. Delivery and shipping can often be arranged using contacts all across Europe.
