SPANISH REFIT


MODESTY INTERIORS Modesty was formed in 1999 by Phil Spear and Jon Winstanley and, due to a dedication to quality and customer service, quickly grew into one of the largest and most well respected carpentry companies in Mallorca. They developed within the company, two separate teams with one specialising in teak deck works and the other in interior refits, exterior furniture, capping rails, gratings so as to be able to provide a full service to all their clients. They have protected a revolutionary system for producing pre- fabricated decks. Using non-invasive laser measuring equipment and CNC machinery,. All aspects of the design, construction, varnishing and upholstery are carried out under one roof leading to a smooth trouble- free project.

Now that STP has acquired a 1000 tn travelift, ABC can now take superyachts of up to 1000 tns out of the water. Says Sykes, “This has opened the 70m+ superyacht refit market up to us even more than before and we now have even more ability to cater for much larger yachts.”


Sykes forecasts that the fact the Americas Cup will be held in New Zealand in 2020 will have an impact on business this winter, as many yachts head over to the Pacific. But still he is confident of a good year ahead with the STP shipyard full well into next year and beyond.


ABC will be focusing on expansion and looking for team members with the skills needed to cater for its clients. Sykes says, “We want to ensure clients receive all they can from just one contractor rather than having multiple contractors and multiple bills, for example. We also now do all our own sika work; we tent our own areas; we have our own in-house carpenter for carpentry work: skilled experts all under one roof!”


STP is an open shipyard Sykes reminds us, unusual in the Med. This means in STP clients can choose their own contractors on their own time. “Most other shipyards in the Med


have a pool of contractors that work for the yards that you must choose from,” says Skyes. “In STP that’s not the case, you choose the contractors you want!”


TEMPORARY PROTECTION YAS Protec is the worldwide leader of temporary


protection material. With


headquarters in Valbonne, France, it also has operations in Germany and Barcelona, Spain.


Even though more and more yachts come into being, the specialised infrastructures to receive them remain limited suggests David Sieur, Chief Executive of YAS Protec. So, he says, there is more and more work on each site. In addition, shipyards continue to invest in order to modernise and respond to the demand. In terms of his own business, yes, he thinks the upcoming winter season
