Erik and Mary Ann Bentzon, MV Nordlys. RVYC.

We met Andrea on the docks and could see her hard and diligent work on a very neglected trawler’s brightwork. It was impressive to see the progress and transformation day by day. Our boat, a 46ft Grand Banks Europa is new to us this past year, and the previous owner had hired a company to do the brightwork. Unfortunately, it wasn’t done well.

Andrea could identify the problem and worked diligently with what had been done and brought it up to a Bristol 10/10. She looks perfect to us—the kind of finish that makes you turn around for one last look when you are leaving the dock. She was also a skilled chemist and could work with what had been initially used , saving the need for going back to bare wood. Thoughtful and considerate in her approach.

We not only recommend her but will continue to use her for future maintenance and other finishing needs. Brightwork Victoria are artisans.
