Cockpit dodgers how much to pay?

[samwise]

The crew (herself) and I were discussing the possibility of replacing our tatty cockpit dodgers. It being a Bank Holiday the sailmakers are shut so we can't get a quote. Has anybody bought a set recently and can provide a ballpark figure for us to work on. Ours is a 10m Westerly and I am looking for plain canvas without any script. Any help welcome.

I was thinking of giving these people a try for my next set:

or there are these as well:

Might give you an idea of costs.

I bought a new set last year from Martexmarine, good quality, very reasonable and quick service. They will also send you samples of material used.

Can you give me an idea of how reasonable? I'd like to to clear the budget with herself while the iron is hot ( as it were). Tomorrow could mean a change in spending priorities!

Actually the on -line order guys at Goldfinch came up with £85 including postage. That sounds reasonable to mel.

I had a sprayhood and dodgers from Martex 7 years ago. Well made, good service lasting very well, nice chap to deal with. What more can I say? He often attends boatjumbles and has a stand with all his wares and fastenings etc. A genuine oldfashioned, hard-working bloke.

contact esatcoastbernie and ask her. She has a boat in SYH and does lots of boat furnishing including dodgers.

You'd think if someone goes to the bother of posting a link you would click on it.
Prices are there.

I have dodgers from Goldfinch( the yachtdodgers link above) & I am a satisfied customer.They were nearly half the price of local sailmaker.I try & support local traders when I can but it is not always possible.

I consider myself admonished

Slik cut in Plymouth produced two for us, with 8 letters on each.. for our 9.5 meter yacht... installed them as well on the boat.... £110 inc vat iirc.

Excellent.
