Clyde Marine I know of, but they dont seem to have any for the spokes. Any one know a supplier who does? TIA.

Thank you both. My scandihooligan is somewhat out of practise, so I will try the UK site first but thank you.

Try Hawke House in Gosport, they supply materials or can do the wheel.

Clyde Marine certainly supplied the parts for the spokes for me. They were extra to the kit though.

Sea Dogs in Penryn, Cornwall... it's them! Very kind and friendly people: I made a mistake in sending the measurements and they mailed me a patch for free. Moreover they use very good materials.

Contacted Sea Dogs today - very helpful - made measure measure and remeasure which was actually a good thing as I was doing it wrong. Looking forward to receiving it.

+1 for Seadogs

Kit included everything required. Nice thick leather. Fitted perfectly.

Seadogs in Penryn make to order really nice jumpers, (sweaters for you guys across the pond). I had one made for me, perfect for sailing.

My only criticism of the Seadogs product is the instructions. I found several errors, and areas where they could be improved. The example stitch pattern was impossible, a bit like an M. C. Escher drawing.

Without wishing to enter into dispute, I had no problem with the instructions. The stitch pattern worked fine for me!

The instructions in my kit suggested that only one end should be trimmed to length. Doing so would have put the two seams not opposite each other. While the stitch I used looks similar to their example once finished, their diagram showed the thread on the wrong side of the leather.
