I'm looking for a pair of Laurent Giles design runner levers. I've contacted Classic Marine, but they can't justify the tooling cost due to insufficient demand. These were bronze, about 18" long with a slotted lever and wood on either side of the handle. They were commonly used on the Vertues class boat.

If you can get a photo of one. it would not be a big problem to make a set of patterns and get them cast in gunmetal. That's what I would be doing, if I needed any. I have cast up quite a lot of fittings for my old ketch "Swallow".

The other possible place is Boat Jumbles. Often you'll find this sort of thing languishing among the 'junk'.

Davey & Co list similar runners. Highfield, not Laurent Giles, but the same thing (not sliding bar). I know, as my Vertue has identical set.

ref no 1655/GM00 (5mm wire)
GM/01 (6mm)
GM/02 (8mm)
GM/03 (10mm)
The prices (wait for it) £73.71; £92.74; £178.42 and £538.56. It doesn't say if that's a pair. I doubt it. Unfortunately, Davey don't deal direct. Only through people like, er Classic Marine. Ring them anyway. 01206 500945.

If not, make me an offer on mine. GM/01.

John, totally changed - a new entrance has opened up much closer to the yacht club - it looks a lot easier now.

The Green bar buoy is moved to 51º 58.87'N 001º 23.5'E

I recenlty saw a pair of levers in the Chandlery Barge at Bursledon (on the Hamble), might be worth calling them: 02380 406349.
