Testimonials
Both Nathan and Scott are really responsive and helpful and do a great job. They have rebuilt my engine, provide annual servicing and support me with all the little niggles you get with owning a boat.
After needing all our standing rigging replaced and new headsail furling, we found Scott and his team delt with Celtic Lady reassuringly and were able to fit in with our timing arrangements very well. Fit for another 10 years. Many thanks Robert

Back on the water – thanks to Scott of 1 Degree West. We gave Scott a jigsaw puzzle of rigging (With lots of pieces missing) and he returned a working yacht – superb work and we are delighted.

Did a quick survey/ check of engine on my new boat, only charged 1 hour labour cost and then when hauled, removed And refitted 5 new anodes in 15 mins cost and very cheaply. What excellent service, But as a business advisor, you need to charge more! As a customer, thank you very much.
Absolutely first class service once again. Very quick turn around and great job done. Normally I’ve dealt with Scott (hero) at 1degree but he was away sorting another yard and Nathan in charge. Top job. Now we’ve got 2 super heros in the same team, can’t recommend them enough.
