Jess is the General Manager of Marine Pro Systems and Logix Group and a mum. She has a Medical Science degree and a deep passion for boats. She is married to her business partner, Brian, who she says is a clever electrician. Together they have a genuine commitment to sharing their knowledge and research about the innovative corrosion products available for propulsion protection for various types of boats.
Jess understands what her clients need to create efficiencies with the goal of reducing maintenance. Brian and Jess’s roles, as has technology, have evolved in the business, using their respective skills to solve complex problems with some very expensive tools. From scope metres, infra-red cameras and anodes for shaft drive and outboard engines, the investigation process analyses the issues such as pitting and metallic structure degradation.
Jess was travelling a lot prior to Covid and has big R&D projects in the pipe line but is the first to say she doesn’t always get it right with the juggle but continues to strive to achieve a balance between her roles at home and her marine career.

This is a special episode as Nicky is taken around My Vanish Super Yacht, by the owner Mitchell Grant Torrens. Recently renovated, this is a space by space, room by room account highlighting the quality of style, furnishing and fittings you'll see on this superb custom made Mangusta. From the Rolls Royce Engines to the custom ordered Ferrari Seats at the helm, dove tailed joinery and embroidered bed and bathroom accessories, this big 92 foot boat has everything you'll need and frequently pulls into the shallowest of bays in the Whitsundays thanks to it's engine set up. Built for comfort and speed, Nicky gets a little excited as she steps into the engine room (she does like a good engine room) to discuss all about 'redundancy', just one of the terms we use in the boating world.
Nicky also attended the Torrens Launch Party at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show.

WOOHOOOO This episode is one hell of ride and for just under $4million, Nicky thinks it's awesome value for a waterfront palace you can park anywhere in the world.
