He Built the Perfect Fishing Setup… Then Quit the Industry..............
This week we follow Ryan on one of his final marine projects — a custom-built fishing module for a Rodman 31.
The brief was simple: create a practical, durable solution for serious fishing. The result is a bespoke unit incorporating a live well, sink with running water, and dedicated tackle storage — all designed to fit neatly within the boat’s existing layout, replacing a clever C-shaped settee that lifts clear of the outboards.
We join the build from start to finish, from workshop fabrication through to final installation at Birdham Pool, with a look around the boatyard and some of the other projects Ryan has been involved in.
It’s a great example of practical marine engineering, thoughtful design, and skilled fabrication — and a fitting send-off as Ryan steps away from the marine industry.Sail Safe Guys,
