Maintenance and refits are carried out by our unit members. This provides us with the best ongoing practical training in all aspects of maintaining seaworthy vessels.
|
|
|
Routine manintenance and repairs are carried on throughout the year. Annual refits are carried out in the first part of each year at Davy Anderson’s boatyard in Newport Fife..

In 2007, work on Badger should be completed by February, work on Sparling and Marigot will commence immediately after this.
|
|
|
|
Training in boat maintenance will take place alongside North Carr or on the slipway when the vessels are out of the water.
