End of an era. These two gentlemen were ever present for the 20 years I sailed from Ramsholt with numerous friends. They were always delighted to see you, very helpful and invariably had tales to recount. R.I.P. Bill and George.

Thanks for the link. I've got two in my field which I intended to sail with my 6 grandchildren.

These people are in Plymouth and were really helpful some 10 years ago when we were on passage Falmouth to Harwich and had a problem. Nice people and appeared technically very good. I think they will do a mail order service. Hope they are still there. The Starter Motor & Alternator Co LTD Home

My pal had a Highlander 28 designed by Julian Everitt. It was a larger version of an Evolution 26. It also had removable lead ballast as described which he removed when trailering the boat to reduce the load on the bespoke trailer. He had previously had an Evolution 26 and wanted a slightly...

I used Dominic Buckley around 10 years ago so he has been around a long time. Good bloke to deal with and would not hesitate to use again.

These are the people I use for all my boat and caravan lighting and LED bulbs. They are more expensive than ebay or random Chinese suppliers but in my experience you normally get the quality you pay for. About the caravan and boat lighting specialists - Aten Lighting

This is from their Facebook site posted on 5th July. We are delighted to open our doors again this weekend at the Ramsholt Arms. We are so proud of our team who have worked so hard to allow us to open safely and thank everyone for their support throughout this time. We have had to make some...

Yes I did find out the that the square bar through a door handle is the correct size, I've just not found an appropriate handle to go on the end. I did have my handle in the garage but think SWIMBO threw it out when "clearing up". I sold my boat and got paid promptly yesterday so I certainly...

Many thanks Fantasie19. I have spent ages googleing variations of furling/reefing/handle with no success. Didn't know it was a Barton product. Cheers.

Looking for the handle with the square drive on that fits in to an old round the boom mainsail system. Cannot find a new one for sale anywhere. Would appreciate buying a second hand one or even a link to where I might get one. Cheers.
