VersaDock has appointed a new Head of Engineering. Simon Batchelor will manage the upgrades and developments of the company’s product range as it continues to introduce advances in design and technology to make dry docking increasingly easy for a wider range of vessels.
At the same time he is leading a project to upgrade the patented DrySail V1 System to the innovative V2 system for Keel Boats to include the following benefits of improved docking, weight savings, self-assembly, manufacturing costs and ultimately an improved cost effective product to the customer.
