Captain Tork Buckley

INTRODUCTION

Site Designed

By

Tork Buckley

What do I do?

 

The function of professional  Yacht Captain needs little explanation, but what is an Owner’s Rep/Owner’s Project Manager/Consultant?

 

When I represent an Owner during a build my function is primarily to ensure that the contract and spec book requirements are fulfilled by the Shipyard, I also co-ordinate Owner’s Supply Items.

 

I will follow the build from start to finish spending extensive time at the shipyard and sometimes Captain the yacht after launch.

 

When I work with Owner or Designer at a pre-contact stage the object is to prepare a specification that is as definitive as possible, given the changes in technology and equipment which occur during the approx 3 year duration from concept to completion. I may work solely as a consultant or after the Contract is signed I may continue as Owner’s Rep.

 

I work in a co-operative relationship with the Designer, Naval Architect & Shipyard.

 

A quality Designer, Naval Architect & Shipyard will build a good yacht, I believe that the synergy of them & those with operational experience can turn a good yacht into a great one.

 

By great I mean a yacht that is:

·                 Easy to maintain which equates to retaining its value, 

·                 Safe for crew to use for the obvious reasons plus minimizing Owner’s Liability

·                 Easy for Crew to use which equates to calm, quality, unobtrusive service,

·                 Has systems which are easy for Owner & guests to understand & operate which equates to enhanced Owner & guest enjoyment

·                 is fully suitable for the cruising areas envisaged which equates to minimised downtime & repair cost,

·                 achieving a balance between customizing the yacht to the precise desires of the Owner which enhances subsequent sale-ability.

 

All this is specifically advantageous to the most import person on a build:

 

The Client & Owner.
