Start with your intended return-to-water date and work backwards with Josh. Winter can create a useful planning window, but access, material availability and other refit work still need to be coordinated.

01
Before the boat is laid up.
Photograph the cushions and trim in position while the arrangement is still visible. Record the piece count, fixings and locker access. Identify what can be removed safely, what needs professional removal and which original components should be retained for assessment.
02
During the work ashore.
Agree who holds the pieces and where they will be stored before collection. Tell Josh about changes to joinery, bases, deck fittings or other surfaces that affect the final fit. Avoid approving patterns against an arrangement that is about to change.
03
Before the boat returns to use.
Allow an agreed opportunity for fitting and checks while the vessel is accessible. Match returned cushions to the inventory, check clearances and confirm the care guidance for the actual materials. Keep the fabric references with the boat’s records for later work.
AI-created design inspiration
Personally considered. Precisely specified.
FROM YOUR PHOTOS TO THE FINISHED PIECE
A clear plan. A considered result.
01
Set the target window
Share the planned launch or cruising date and the period when the boat can be accessed.
02
Agree samples and scope
Confirm the surfaces, filling, patterns, finishing and any separate cover work.
03
Coordinate manufacture
The schedule follows the agreed specification, material availability and workshop programme.
04
Reserve time for handover
Collection is not completion. Agree return, installation and the fitted checks as separate steps.
BEFORE WORK BEGINS
The practical details.
Use these notes to prepare your brief. The exact work and arrangements are confirmed with Josh.
How early should I enquire?+
Enquire as soon as you know the intended window. Josh can discuss availability after understanding the scope and access. This guide does not promise a fixed lead time or reserved production slot.
Should I remove all the cushions immediately?+
Record the fitted layout first, then agree which pieces are needed and who will remove them. Do not dismantle fixed seating or discard original covers and filling before the scope is clear.
What if the launch date changes?+
Tell Josh and the person coordinating the vessel promptly. Review the collection, manufacture and fitting programme together rather than assuming each date moves automatically.
Can protective covers be included?+
Yes, include them as a separate part of the brief. Their purpose, material, pattern and fastenings differ from the upholstery covers fitted directly around cushions.
Same-day UK courier collection is available by confirmed booking. Pattern material, packing, return and fitting are agreed around the work. Collection is separate from manufacture; your production programme is confirmed individually.
