Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
Since their inception in 2015, UK manufacturers August Race have been focused on establishing their position in the marine maintenance products field within the UK.
The first 12 months saw the company steadily grow their customer base within the professional marketplace to become the suppliers for the likes of Cobra Ribs and Princess Motor Yacht Sales, and in 2016 they began to offer their range of products in chandleries and online.
Interest from one of America’s largest marine companies, Defender Industries, soon followed, and since then, August Race have grown their overseas market rapidly, taking on distributors in Australia, Ireland, the Balearic Islands, Iceland and most recently Oslo Boat Import in Norway, with all product labelling translated into Norwegian.
August Race already have a stand booked at this year’s Metstrade exhibition in Amsterdam in November.
