That could knock up a replacement skeg for a westerly longbow for me. Any recommendations as I didnt know there was such a thing till told recently.
Especially if they are anywhere near canvey island. Thks

Not exactly Canvey, but one of the best GRP guys i know, Mike (Javelin here on the forum), works for Southwold Boatyard.

If the boat concerned is on canvey , why not go to CYB who supply all grp stuff ( used to be canvey yacht builders) and ask them for a recommendation, they could certainly supply all the materials anyway , even do course if you fancy Diy

I was going to do exactly that but they are closed.

Though having just checked thier website I may be wrong and think I went round on Sat afternoon, thinking it was actually Friday! So will pop back this week.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
