  • 4:00 -  6:00  PPJ Seminar - Boat Systems and Spares - A Conversation wth "Teapot" Tony

    Boat Systems and Spares

    Countless boaters have benefited from "Teapot" Tony's extensive knowledge of and experience with boat systems.  Tony is back by popular demand to share some of that knowledge.  He will concentrate on engine systems and recommended spares, but also address other critical systems.

    Teapot Tony

    After some 28 years’ service, Tony Barker retired from the British Merchant Navy as Chief Engineer.  Having travelled the world on ships of all sizes, in 2000 he decided upon Banderas Bay to open his own marine repair business.  Being British and a tea drinker, "Teapot Tony" soon became his VHF radio name.  Not limited to any one make of engine, he was soon labelled "the diesel guru" and has helped hundreds of cruisers, including troubleshooting by email.

    Getting in and out of small spaces is now too painful for his bad back, so he officially retired from hands- on work at the end of 2010.  However he is still available for consultations and instruction.
