Refitting and maintenance
Johnson Marine Boatbuilding Limited is very passionate about traditionally crafted classic boats and has spent many years focused on servicing the requirements of owners with repairs, maintenance and alterations on such classic vessels.
Featured classic refit - Nereides
Nereides is a classic 52ft Teak-hulled Cruising Ketch designed by William Garden. Originally built and launched in 1969 Nereides continuing role has been as a sailing yacht for the Mission Adventure Trust.
We're excited to be working on such a classic and are working hard to return Nereides to her original launch condition graced
with a few modern touches.
