Boat Builder and Repairer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years hands on in workshops and on slipways, turning plans into solid hulls and reliable rigs. At a practical level, I keep projects moving by checking slipway apparatus, aligning reference points, and assembling hull shells to tight tolerances. In the last year I helped prepare templates and scale plans for a 22 metre timber sloop, and the work let us reduce rework by a noticeable margin while staying under budget. I’ve got a solid grip on the core tasks you’d expect, from marking reference lines to fitting masts and deck fittings, and I’m comfortable supervising launching procedures when required. I can read plans, verify measurements with traditional rulers and digital gauges, and I’ve learned where a small misalignment becomes a big issue at the launching stage. I’m keen to bring a practical, careful approach to [Company Name] and help push repairs and builds along smoothly. One real-world example stands out. We were faced with a hull that needed an overhaul mid-project at [Previous Company], including fabricating a new hull mould and refitting the deck and machines. I took the lead on the mould fabrication and coordinated with the rigging team to install the mast and shafts in sequence. The result was a clean fit and a launch that went ahead on time, with check tests showing stability and balance within the required tolerances. I’m available to discuss how I can contribute to your team and help keep projects on track. If you’d like, I can drop in for a chat or a site visit to go through our process and timing. Kind regards, [Your Name]
