Friendly knowledgeable swindlery most people don\'t think ...
of when they are shopping for bits of boat.
Vitesse Marine at Fareham have been SO helpful to me and really nice relieving me of money, when I sought their advice about installing a holding tank.
They are basically trade, but still will deal with the general sailing public, and stock mainly Vetus equipment, but they do keep other makes as well, and can get almost anything. They are a tiny bit cheaper than some of the other chandleries, but they know what they are talking about, which saves lots of time and wrong purchases.
Ian Frontdesk is extremely knowledgeable about most nautical things, Ian Catalogue knows all the item numbers without having to look them up (my nicknames for them), and Paul is also very helpful indeed.
It was almost a pleasure to end up leaving several hundred pounds with them; but at least I have the right stuff, all matching, to instal a holding tank in our forecabin under the st'rbord bunk.
HWMBO is suffering a severe loss of 60 litres of storage. However, we can sort that by taking off a load of bits we will very likely not need. Don't you guys hoard things??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
