Hi,

I'm looking to order some parts over the next few months for a restoration project. Does anyone have experience with chandlery e-commerce sites ? Which ones are the best to use ?

Thanks

Frank

dunno about that. As with everything you need to shop around. The Warrington branch is about 10 minutes from me and very handy. Last week I bought some new rope for a mainsheet.

Their prices were the best online and not a great deal different to the rope man at the boat jumbles. I told them about this and he said their clothes were also cheaper than most, looking online I have to agree.

Other stuff though can frighten the dust back into my wallet. Basically I would not write mailspeed off though, for one thing, they almost always have stock. Most online chandleries it seems do not sell ex stock.

Re: Mailspeed

Compass's prices for clothing are very good. Prices at boatshow are same as online, and their Musto Coastal MPX prices undercut everyone else there that I could see
