MS•YS offers knowledge and experience to fellow sailors needing help and information with boat projects and repair problems. We can help a boat owner plan and design a step-by-step scope of work to fix the problem. Knowing the correct procedure and the appropriate materials to use is vital for the success of the project and also the vessels seaworthiness.

First-time buyers or first-time live-aboard sailors, especially may need a few pointers regarding suitability of the right vessel type for them. This may involve discussion about the right gear and equipment to have. Our team, Chris and Manuela, will consult on all these matters and guide the buyer to choose the right boat to suit the client’s cruising intentions.

We can give you advice on what type of keels to go for, what type of construction and materials. One mast or two, cutter or ketch? What type and size of engine, generator, batteries etc. The list is endless. All these issues can be discussed. Just inform us what you need to know and what questions you have in mind.

In our experience, many clients have some knowledge and do know how to sail but are new to a bigger vessel and the live-aboard concept of cruising.

We offer professional advice, guidance and assistance, which can save boat owners time and money.  Our expertise enables owners to enjoy the journey even more.
