Petticrows Boatyard will be relocating to Cascais, Portugal during March 2021.
With the UK leaving the EU we fell it is essential to ensure trouble free and continued easy purchase of New Dragons, used Dragons and Dragon accessories from Petticrows.
This move will enable us to achieve it and provide improved service to the Dragon Fleet.
2020 has been a difficult year for all our valued customers. We hope that during 2021 the COVID situation will improve and we will all return to enjoying ourselves on the water, with our friends,
both at home and at the fantastic Dragon class racing circuit.
The relocation will ensure Petticrows is well placed to service the fleet efficiently when we are able to get back on the water this season and beyond.
After more than 30 years based in Burnham on Crouch in the UK, it is without doubt a big change, but presents a very positive opportunity for the company and will integrate some new personnel, ideas and enthusiasm with our existing quality and reliability.
Tim Tavinor will continue to be involved overseeing the production and will be continuing to race the Dragon on the regatta circuit.
Petticrows Portugal team will count with the familiar face of Pedro Rebelo de Andrade and with his extensive experience in Dragon sailing.
Pedro is joined by Henrique who will take care of the operation in Cascais. The existing UK contact details will still be in operation for some time so please call or e-mail with any questions or concerns over this move.
Please note Petticrows Portugal sales office new contact details:
For a short time during the relocation there will be an interruption in our ability to dispatch spare parts. This will resume as usual from the middle of March. We apologize for what we hope will be minimal disruption.
Several of the key production workers from UK will also be involved in Portugal making sure of a seamless transition so you can be sure of some familiar faces when you are next able to visit us in
Portugal!
Petticrows Portugal is located in Cascais, a village that has been a big and popular part of the recent history in the world of Dragon sailing. Recently, Vilamoura has re-established itself as a
Dragon Regatta venue and popular winter training base so we will now be handy for anyone choosing some winter sun and sailing action.
Portugal has a long and successful Maritime heritage and we very much look forward to a new chapter for Petticrows in this friendly environment.
