SYH PROJECTS
The Boat Building Diaries
Read up on the most interesting case studies and pick up some tips and tricks via the SYH Boat Building Diaries.
Focus On: Susquehanna
“The SYH team has been working hard on the extensive refit and restoration of Susquehanna for the last three years. She has undergone a wide range of work inside the SYH workshop including updating her deck layout, galley, heads and electric panel.
We rebuilt her internal keel matrix, took out all her joinery and bulkheads, rebuilding where necessary, varnished and re-fitted out the hull.
Having resprayed the superstructure, we manufactured new toe rails, rebuilt the rudder and put in new windows and hatches.
We re-plumbed the entire yacht and she had a new engine fitted by onsite business French Marine. Another onsite business, Seapower Marine, has rewired the whole yacht.”
Discover SYH
Founded in 1967, Suffolk Yacht Harbour has evolved from flooded farmland to a thriving hub for local and visiting yachtsmen.
The site was originally developed so owners could reach their boats dry-footed instead of using a dinghy. Over the years, SYH has transformed into one of the premier marinas in the UK.
The Environment
SYH is committed to helping preserve local habitats and minimise its impact on the wider environment. Through continued research and investment, SYH is gradually fulfilling its ever-evolving environmental plan.
The Culture
A warm and friendly welcome awaits you at SYH whether you are a long-standing berth holder or a new visitor. A balance of experience and youth makes up the SYH team, who always go above and beyond to ensure customers are looked after.
Area of outstanding natural beauty
The wildlife-rich estuary of the River Orwell forms part of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The nearby mudflats and salt marshes are a haven for wading and migrating birds. Picturesque walking routes take in the river landscape and surrounding countryside.
The Location
Situated on the River Orwell at Levington, SYH is two miles from the A14 between Felixstowe and Ipswich. The marina is accessible at all states of the tide.
