EXPERIENCED | INNOVATIVE | DEDICATED

Chris Spencer is the son of a boat builder and while growing up, spent summer breaks gaining hands-on experience building small-to-medium sized sailboats. As an apprentice, he learned plug & mold manufacture at Tanzer Industries, then a prominent FBG boat manufacturing facility in Canada.

After University, Chris was employed full-time at Tanzer, acquiring knowledge and practical experience working across departments of the 100+ employee company.

Early on, Chris followed his passion to be actually out at sea and completed numerous offshore sailing deliveries between the East Coast and the Caribbean which led to time as a charter skipper in the British Virgin Islands. During this period, Hurricane Hugo struck and amongst the devastating aftermath were thousands of damaged boats. Chris then took the opportunity to establish a FBG repair business and & partnered with an existing refinishing company to handle reconstruction and repairs.

As the Company grew to become a repair and refinishing leader in the Caribbean, Chris utilized the depth & breadth of his experience and earned a solid reputation for his specialized work in difficult repairs and innovative modifications: plug & mold building, parts manufacturing and extensions.
