I would like to thank John and his team for arranging such a quick turn around on the new sprayhood for a New Élan Impression 434. I phoned John on Friday afternoon he measured it on Monday morning and returned the same afternoon with the completed hood and fitted it that day, a truly outstanding service.

Bruce Hastie, Yacht Sales and Brokerage Manager, Premier Yacht Sales Ltd.

Thank you so much for all your amazing work on Isobel's new cover

Hugo Andreae, Editor, Motor Boat and Yachting magazine

The canopy is still waterproof and looking good, no problems with zips either. Best money spent as it makes another room, thanks Tecsew.

John – Well done. The first of a new design of yacht can be a challenge. A discerning but apprehensive client who knew what he wanted but not how it might be achieved: ''an attractive Bimini/Cockpit Enclosure that did not compromise the lines of the boat but is versatile.''

Result: ''Brilliant'' All done from scratch. Design – manufacture – and fitted in less than three weeks. A very satisfied customer. Many thanks.

Just a quick letter to say thank you for the cockpit enclosure you have made and supplied for my boat. Having felt unsure, I saw it for the first time on Thursday and was delighted with the quality, the appearance and the amazing practicality. Thank you also for the time you spent discussing it with me prior to my order which was extremely helpful

We are just back from a couple of days in Southampton including some time on our boat with Simon yesterday afternoon. We just wanted to say how delighted we are with the Sprayhood and Bimini, the Sprayhood was up and the Bimini folded away but James at Ancasta took some pictures of the Bimini when it was in place for us. It looks fantastic and we are delighted with the result so this note is just to say a huge thank you.

More recently they have come to my rescue with my garden furniture - after just a few months use my fabric garden swing sun awning deteriorated and needed replacing. Thanks to tecsew I now have a new marine quality sun cover that is more than fit for purpose as per the attached photograph. Thanks for your excellent friendly service.

Dear Ally, I am writing to thank you for an exceptional service and excellent quality goods supplied. I do not normally send letters of thanks and have become used to receiving broken items, goods with bits missing and other goods are very badly made. Having ordered my Bimini from you, and needing it desperately, I was delighted when I found that not only did you manage to make it and have it ready for me well before my deadline but I received it and fitted it to my boat and it fitted perfectly. The quality is second to none – brilliant!! I will not hesitate to pass you name on to anyone that may be interested in the services and goods you offer with my endorsement that will not be disappointed. My additional thanks to you personally, for the professional and friendly way in which you organized all this for me. Many thanks again

You kindly made a Cockpit Enclosure for our SO37 and fitted it in early 2007, when we kept the boat at Hamble. At short notice you returned to the boat and made minor alterations and split the maintubes, so we could set of for the east coast. In the summer of 2007 I cleverly "chucked" the heavy stainless steel lower lugs for the frame into three metres of water and mud! What to do? I phoned Tecsew at 10am on a Tuesday and explained the problem. Tecsew took details of the measurements of the 2 tubes and attachments over the phone, did the necessary fabrication immediately, and despatched to our home address where the replacement parts were received on Thursday am.

Further to my telephone message I just wanted to thank Ally and the team for our bimini frame and canvas work.

We will be calling on you again when our sprayhoods need replacing.

Many thanks

Just to let you know (I oozed to John about this) we are still absolutely delighted with our cockpit enclosure; it is such a great addition to our yacht. We are able to sit on deck and appreciate the view whatever the weather! Also, the service we have received from your company has been excellent – I chose to have press studs so that I wouldn’t have anything sticking out of the deck that I could injure myself on; a couple of these failed and you came to replace them without any fuss. I recommend you to all my friend!

a) the quality of the workmanship ,
b) the service and speed with which you were able to then job,
c) the courteousness and helpfulness of everybody we have dealt with from Tecsew ,not least of which being yourselves, thank you.

We were very pleased to be able add our own aspect to the already successful design that you showed us from Lyra Mara by having windows in the section which joins the front of the bimini to the front of the spray hood. It makes the internal area lighter and will help with visibility if we ever leave it in when on the move. The bimini conversion has already made a big difference to our comfort and well-being.

You already have a very good reputation, which is why we contacted you to do the work, we will be more than happy to recommend you to our sailing friends and other Moody owners.

I am just dropping you an email to say how pleased we are with the bimini conversion and sprayhood back that you supplied. John and Arnie did a great job, quickly and carefully and I would ask you to thank them for me as well. Bearing in mind that we have just suffered the coldest November for a very long time, we were sitting in the cockpit having dinner the night that it was fitted. We were very pleasantly surprised at the warmth and the ability to experience 'summer dining' in the depths of winter... It has made an incredible improvement to getting in and out of the boat and has provided another VERY BIG cabin which has made entertaining in the winter a real pleasure.

It has transformed our use of the yacht during the winter and has prompted a number of our 'neighbours' to consider getting their yachts done as well - expect a few phonecalls from Brighton!!!

So far, we think that this is the best (certainly most visible) money that we have spent on Novastar to date.

Tecsew are consistently reliable in quality, workmanship and in their ability to know exactly what the customer wants. My Bimini arrived in Spain on time and with clear instructions. As you can see from the photos it fits perfectly. It is also robust and with it fully extended we sailed from Seville to Cadiz in F5 (20knot wind) and I could easily manage all sheets and winches. You advised me that it would not permit a full boom out of the main which is correct but we did not find this a problem.

Just wanted to write and thank you for the great canopy you’ve designed and built for our Antares 9.80. You were very patient with our various requests and provided some useful improvements to our original design. Never having had a canopy on a boat before, I was a little apprehensive that it would make the cockpit feel a little dark and too enclosed. On the contrary, it’s given us a whole new room, that’s bright & airy with all the windows…a great new space for us!

After looking long and hard at a number of cockpit tent makers we opted to go with Tecsew for a cockpit tent for our 346. We are absolutely delighted with the result. The tent design has been well thought through and is made with high quality fabric and fittings. With many experiences in the boating world we have found quality of service to be sadly lacking, so it was with some apprehension we ordered the tent. The service we received was truly excellent. An initial visit was done promptly and subsequent measuring and fitting completed within a fortnight. Not bad for late June! Half the pleasure of having our cockpit tent has come from the service we received from you. Nothing was too much trouble

It all looks a very classy, high quality job and the extra space available at the back end of the cockpit is amazing – so John was right to push for the change compared to her original cover.

The burgundy is a good colour match with her burgundy colour bands and the linen on the inside looks very good. The stainless steel track system is very neat.

Your attention to detail throughout the whole process has been very impressive; we shall definitely be recommending Tecsew to our sailing acquaintances.

I would like to record my appreciation to yourself and team from Tecsew for producing and fitting the excellent cockpit enclosure for our Westerly Konsort Sweet Lil. The family has made full use of it from the first day, using it as a Bimini from the strong sun, a Windbreak after swimming, and then the children had great fun sleeping under it in the cockpit. I was very impressed to find the job completed so quickly and professionally and just 10 days after placement of my order. We are now looking forward to fully utilising the extra space onboard the enclosure now gives regardless of weather conditions

Dear John & Ally, I would like to thank you for the excellent rigid Bimini I purchased from you at the beginning of this Season.It performs superbly both in the heat and heavy storms.Your Quality and fine attention to every detail both in design and manufacture are second to none. This is also borne out by the many complements that I receive on my travels on the great condition of my Sprayhood you made originally,when they cannot believe it is 8 years old !

I will have no hesitation on ordering a replacement mainsail Lazyjack Bag from you for next Season,as my existing one which was originally made by a French manufacturer is completely worn out.

I look forward to seeing you both again at the end of the year.

Best Regards,Peter Munro.

Shikari, my Huntsman 28 is now safely moored up in Majorca, after an interesting trip and looks resplendent nicely protected by the overall cover and bimini that you supplied for her. Being a classic vessel it’s so much more challenging to design a bimini particularly that both does the job and looks the part. On our trip we experienced the schizophrenic nature of the Med firstly by enjoying the ‘sun factor 99’ the bimini afforded us on the first leg and then promptly the ‘spray shielding’ from a nasty chop later on. I can now get on with the task of sorting the ‘canvas’ on the Swan 36 and my two Revival Yachts with the confidence of dealing with the most professional and pleasant cover makers around

I can wholeheartedly recommend Tecsew to any boat owner. Their professionalism and customer-focused approach were well tested by the complex, awkward job I gave them, and their work exceeded my expectations in every way. Their smart use of new technology and innovative design process are worthy of praise, and significantly reduce cost for the customer. But most impressive of all are the quality of their craftsmanship and their keen attention to detail.

For a superb quality Bimini for Atlantic crossings, the Caribbean, the Med please read on......

Our Tecsew Bimini and frame has travelled thousands of miles over 10 years. It has been an essential part of daily blue water cruising on our Jeanneau SO.54DS.

Our strong Tecsew frame supports the CAD contour-tailored Bimini canvas. The shape and extra side strengthening makes this Bimini fantastic quality, exceeding all expectations.

Unfortunately during an unforecast, freak 60+ knot storm, the 10 year old Bimini canvas ripped, the zips held.

Tecsew made us a new Bimini to their original CAD design and posted it to us in the Med....it fits perfectly, again.

Ally is passionate about her work, she was wonderful over the phone and extremely professional by email answering all our questions and requirements.

Our experience of Tecsew and their Bimini work has been superb, we can confidently recommend this company to all blue water sailors.

Bimini working well in sunny Spain! Thank you, we are very pleased. I would also like to add that it has been a real pleasure dealing with your organisation. Very responsive and a great product which is working well for us. It even keeps the rain off!

We are delighted with the conversion. It gives us an easy deployed Bimini for use in hot weather and also for use while sailing in rain. When moored up, we are able to deploy the enclosure which turns the cockpit area into cosy living space in foul or colder weather. There is no awkward extra steel-work to find a home for when the cockpit tent is stowed so all we have to find a home for is a few pieces of canvas. Dismantling it is a doddle. Putting it up takes a couple of tries to figure out the best order to do things in - but then it becomes easy. It takes us about 5 minutes to erect. The Velcro assistance on the side-panels helps and the bungee attachments around the base of the tent are easily deployed and removed from inside the tent. When erected, the whole thing looks like a 'proper job' blending nicely with the original design. With the Bimini up it has always taken a bit of ducking and weaving to get between the cockpit and the side deck. This is inevitable given the geometry and is quite manageable. The entrances to the tent from the side decks inherits the same slight difficulty. We anticipate that stern-to-mooring in the Med will make this even less of a problem. With hidsight, I would pay more attention to the tapes which secure the side and particularly rear panels when rolled up. These are fiddly to do up and not very secure. I would recommend toggles and loops - preferably with some bungee involved - for any future attempts

I was down on my boat yesterday and....well, WOW, what a fantastic job John and the team have done! The cockpit tent is all we hoped for, and more! Several people came up to me yesterday to ask where I had had it made. I pointed out it was "designed" and not just made!

Thank you very much to you and all the team for the advice, guidance and speed with which you helped us to have our cockpit tent.

Please add me to your list of very happy 'second time round' customers!

The Cockpit enclosure fitted to my Moody 36 is a great success. It effectively lengthens the boat providing a "room in the cockpit" The fixtures and fittings are robust and the precision fitting ensures we can sail the boat in all conditions with it folded in the cockpit as we have done for hundreds of hours. Most yachtsmen do not realise this and think fitting a cockpit enclosure means constant removal and reassembly. The design is so effective that I have never needed another pair of hands in order to fold and erect the cover! All our winches can be operated and our cockpit enclosure unobtrusively remains permanently in the cockpit greatly increasing our sailing pleasure

I am truly amazed at the quality of this canopy, and full praise should be given to John, Ally and his crew for their professional service. I gave the brief (on site with the boat) to John, but his 3D measurements, and drawings were in-valuable to finalize the overall design. The 3D system was a huge bonus to make any “tweaks”, but because the design was SO good we did not make any changes. I believe Tecsew are the only Company to offer this service, and quite honestly I cannot see how anybody else could do such a good/accurate job without it! I have attached a few of the 3D drawings to compare to the final product.

Tecsew: a great company!

We just wanted to tell you that the covers for our Moody 31 fitted perfectly. We are so satisfied with both the sprayhood and the cockpit enclosure after having tried them out on a sailing trip for 8 days along the western coast of Sweden. We had nearly all sorts of weather (luckily no snow!), and we really enjoyed sitting safely and dry when sometimes it was raining cats and dogs.

We had no problems fitting the covers, but we had to make new holes all the way round. That was not a big job, and our "Lykle" looked nearly new with the new covers on.

Yet again Ally and TecSew deliver great customer service. Despite loaded order lists, I still received terrific customer and a rapid report on the state of my (tired now) Tecsew cockpit enclosure from Connor! Can't ask for more. Thanks TecSew

What a pleasant surprise to see the new covers fitted when we arrived on Friday night. We were amazed at the light effect the brighter interior colour has compared to the old dark blue.

I have an enclosure on my 31 from Tecsew that has performed well since 2011. Stows away easily, used as Bimini shade for sun or rain. Have even sailed fine with the full enclosure up keeping us cozy and dry in bad weather. Wouldn't want to be without it. It's also great for keeping the midges at bay here in Scotland!
