Wild Group International, the leading specialists in yacht branding and vinyl yacht, Motorboat and Superyacht finishes worldwide, have released the comments of Phil Milliard, Yard Manager at Solent Refit, on Wild Group and vinyl as the way forward, as well as the comments of Chris Warde, previously technical sales at Sunseeker, on the success of vinyl for the 28m Sunseeker yacht Merrick and moving forward.

“We recently had the Wild Group doing a full make-over on a 28m Sunseeker, the workmanship and professionalism of the guys is fantastic, and better than that the finished product looked amazing. We have now brought the Wild Group back to wrap a 57m sailboat in our yard. Vinyl Wrapping is the way forward, quick and simple and environmentally friendly too,” comments Phil.

“While working at Sunseeker International I worked closely with The Wild Group to introduce a carbon fibre effect vinyl wrap as a standard finish on the then new 28 Metre Yacht. The final result was such a success that owners subsequently went on to challenge the application to the extreme. The 28 Metre Yacht with complete hull and superstructure wrapped in vinyl is simply amazing and the finish was applied in a fraction of the time, cost and hassle of the alternative paint finish,” comments Chris Warde.
