Retractable bowthruster
Pedros have recently carried out the installation
of a fully retractable bow thruster to a 40 ft dufour
yacht , the benefits of being fully retractable are
enormous without any of the drag problems associated
with a conventional bowthruster as well as cutting down
on the need for maintainence.pedros have been fitting
all types of bowthruster for many years and are able
to undertake the complete installation of any type of
bowthruster.

the rocks in Torbay.
Pedros have completed a full repair overseen
by surveyors to a 40 ft jenneau yacht that was washed
onto rocks just outside Torbay ,the entire interior
had to be removed to gain access to the structurally
affected parts of the vessel, which required a complicated
re build and then re insatallation of the interior as
well as complete re wire with many of the systems overhauled
and replaced following immersion in salt water , the
vessel recently launched and is now happily heading
to the med for its summer cruise.
