J-Star Boat Services is a family run company founded in 1981. Here is photo of the first generation.

Now the second generation is running this family run business, now in its 32nd year. Here is a photo of the one of the second generation with the third generation.

Simon, our Master boat Builder believes that having traditional family values is the best  way to keep his clients happy & have them return to have more work done on their boats year after year.

Here he is working on fitting a new plywood sub-deck to a client's old gaffer before fitting a new top layer to the deck to make it water tight.

 

          enjoy your sailing and explore new anchorages just like the photo below for yourself.

        

The master boat builder at J-Star Boat Services is  a time served boatbuilder with over 36 years experience in the industry & having built or repaired many types of traditional wooden vessels (carvel, clinker & double diagonal) as well modern plywood and epoxy craft.

 While the boat builders in the company use Traditional Tools in their work, they also uses a mixture of traditional & modern methods during his restoration work on their client's boats to take their clients the best of both worlds.

We also run a sea school company:  J-Star Sea School is an accredited RYA Training Centre & Sea School, based at Great Clacton Essex. so once you have had your boat build or repaired we can cater for your sailing & navigation training needs under the same roof.
