Sometimes, I come to the conclusion you just get too many emails. Anyhow, whilst poring through Friday’s delivery of the odd two or three hundred emails in my inbox, I noticed one titled Rib Raid; nothing to do with technical redundancy on serv...

UK is one of the new countries to introduce a professional boat sales qualification which has been championed by the Boat Retailers and Brokers Association (BRBA) and the Association of Brokers and Yacht Agents (ABYA) to promote a proper code of ...

Boatshed were the 1st RNLI Ambassadors a few years ago which means that if you are a boat seller or buyer through Boatshed.com you can receive a complimentary 1 year Offshore membership with the RNLI.

There are some boats that are so distinctive that to the average yachts person, it is difficult to be mistaken. The Fisher range of boats are of this ‘ilk’. Eventhough they fall within the standard lengths and proportions of most modern yachts...

There was a time when sailing yachts were hand made. But Mass-production, GRP and rising costs changed the boat building industry irreversibly. So, as the Boatshed Kent Yacht brokers it is always a lovely surprise to be asked to market a yacht th...

I am taking some time away from the Medway area of Kent and have ventured on my annual pilgrimage to Avoriaz in the French Alps. I have a couple of budding young skiers who can’t get enough of the white stuff! This year, the end of season snow f...

Firstly Congratulations to Ian Welsh and his team of Boatshed Poole for winning the 2010 Boatshed.com "Broker of the year award"

At this time of year we do have to venture out on many a cold day and Boatyards can be somewhat. The Boatshedmedway area is based along the River Medway in Kent and the wind is locally known for being somewhat viscious. As the River Medway passe...

When people try and explain the science behind how a yacht sails, comparison is invariably made to an aeroplane wing. The principle behind the wing is that differences in pressure between both sides creates lift and as the plane moves forwards thu...

As the Boatshedmedway Broker I have been delighted to market this Rival 32’.

Boatshed has devised a new way of allowing people to join their winning team through the launch of Boatshed Agents.

When I am not working or boating my other interest lies on the ski slopes. My family have always enjoyed a winter holiday in the alps. I would ponder on the probability that mountain people are very similar to those that live along the coast or ve...

Well the wind might be blowing and we are all making preparations for Christmas but if you are like me, thoughts soon turn to boating even in the depths of winter. Whilst this time of year is very much for the home or harbour it is also a good ti...
