About Us

Ian Turnbull started his marine career working at Ovington Boats in 2000. For 5 years Ian was the mast-maker and rigger at Ovington’s where he worked on 29ers, 49ers Musto skiffs, 18 foot skiffs and Mumm 30s. Ian produced the masts for the 3 medal-winning 49ers in the 2004 Olympics. Ian was also involved in dinghy fit-outs and repairs at the company.

After Ovington’s, Ian completed a degree in Yacht Manufacturing and Surveying at Southampton Solent University. During this time, Ian set up BOVBOATS.co.uk, the fore-runner of Ian Turnbull Marine. This started out as a small online chandlery specializing in tapered sheets for the Musto skiff but progressed to complete fit-outs of International 14s. Ian has also fitted-out Flying 15s and has performed race preparation and maintenance work on TP 52s.

Ian has had a hugely successful sailing career and has been at the top of the fleet in a wide range of High Performance boats. For example,

International 14 - 4th Nationals 2006, 15th Worlds 2006
Musto Skiff - 2nd Nationals 2003, 2nd Worlds 2004 & 2007
18ft skiff - 1st Europeans 2008, 1st European grand prix 2005

Over the years Ian has built up a vast knowledge and skill base in the sailing industry. He has a huge amount of experience in rigging, rope work and fittings. His technical skills and sailing ability make Ian an excellent choice for race preparation to make your boat the fastest in the fleet!
