As per the title. I've had a quote of over £370 ex vat. Is this in the right ballpark, or do I assume the rigger does not want the job?
… won't let me near the boat until I have completed the cardiac recovery plan following a recent heart attack.
I renewed my wind instruments a few years back. Two handed job and took nearly a day. Drilling new holes on the masthead for the new vane took a while. Its something I would now possibly pay someone to do with me assisting as second person if they will have me !Nope, just cable to the foot of the mast and, yes, there is an old cable to pull through.
Read the post it says Ex VATStg50 an hour, per person, seems cheap to me and its a 2 person job. Take out your VAT and its not much of a living for 2 people.

Seems a strange attitude. Not much fun working at the mast top and I would have thought most people would pay someone else because they didn’t want to do it, rather than because they lacked the ability. Having just done exactly the job OP refers to, I would happily pay a professional to do it next time if funds allow. Sadly, they rarely do.. I would not rely on an owner - if he is asking for someone to do it - that means he cannot do it himself and is not someone I would want to rely on.
I don't need to - I can rely on you to add the correction.Read the post it says Ex VAT
