In 1966 Keith Calton joined the Cambridge University Spitzbergen expedition dodging icebergs as a boat mechanic.

He was involved with glass-fibre fabrication, making and developing 14ft and 17ft Dejon motorboats.

He then had a career change to make glassfibre cases for musical instruments.

In 2019 Keith developed the CaltonCraft Fender Hookers, which are proving popular.

Keith is still a working musician and owns a 31ft Macwester Wight.
