Hi, back on here after a boatless break of a couple of years.

My new toy needs some replacement zips and a window in the cockpit tent. Can anyone recommend someone to do this? I had a bad experience with one local company a while ago and I'm looking for an alternative.

+1 for sail and cover, they built us a new spray hood and cockpit tent in March, good material, good workmanship, design improved over the one it replaced and the best price we were quoted for the job. We're happy with it

I recently needed a repair to one section of a cockpit enclosure and had a couple of ridiculous quotes, which i wasn't prepared to entertain. Bumped into Jack Ferguson on a customers boat, who did a very nice repair at a reasonable rate, 07493 480691

Does Jack trade under a company name?
Bluewater Yacht Covers

After the job he did replacing the zip and the clear panel in one section of the cockpit enclosure i asked him to do the clear panels in the rest of the enclosure, along with a second zip. Once again, he did a first class job for a fraction of what others wanted.

No connection, just a satisfied customer.
