ABOUT BOS & CARR
For two friends Scott Carr and Lowie Bos, 1993 saw the beginning of a partnership that became Bos & Carr Boatbuilders Limited.
Now more than fifteen years on, and with a wealth of exceptional work to their credit, Bos & Carr have gained a strong reputation in New Zealand and overseas for excellence in aluminium and steel boatbuilding. They bring unrivalled knowledge and expertise to the New Zealand Boatbuilding Industry, and more recently have begun to excel in the arena of boat design.
Bos & Carr believe sound hull structure is the foundation of any vessel. With what they describe as 'computer aided traditional boatbuilding,' Bos & Carr employ advanced technology such as computer plotting but manually form and cut plates by hand. This gives the client the best of both worlds: the skill and eye of a Boatbuilder combined with the timesaving efficiency of a computer.
Experienced in constructing round-bilged aluminium sailing yachts, Bos & Carr's bent tee-bar frame construction is, without a doubt, the best choice of construction available today. Bos & Carr have developed and made their own machinery that allows the shaping of frames to a very high standard that in- turn produces a hull fair enough to leave un-faired and unpainted if desired. Plating and welding is performed in a sequence that eliminates any locked-in stress and ABS and Lloyds certified welding is standard procedure even when not directed by a client.
Bos & Carr have also been involved with a vast array of refit projects such as a complete refit of a Sparkman and Stephens 70's racing yacht, numerous keel developments, and passenger ferry extensions to name but a few.
