Hamble School of Boat Repair

Learning about boat repair is one of our biggest challenges.  For too long we have lived the NYC doorman and porter lifestyle where home repair ,including some light bulb changes, is outsourced.   That is not an option on a boat where maintenance and repair are ongoing, even on a brand new boat. To cure our lack of skill we found a 7 day course that covered all things boat repair.   The only place that offered such a complete curriculum was in the UK at The Hamble School.  The class was excellent and a real confidence booster.   It was also an advertisement for our brand of boat since time after time instructors would tell us “the proper way to do xyz” and we would consult the Antares manual to discover that Antares had done it the “proper way”.   The English teaching style is a bit harsh but you learn quickly that you have made a mistake.  Reminds me a bit of the days back at my prep school, EA.
