The Lodestar website isn't very helpful, but there is an email address, info@lodestarinflatables.com. If they can't or won't help, which might tell you something about makes to avoid in future, I'd contact a local flubber repair shop. I can't help you with Scotland, but my local one, Ron Hale in Portsmouth has always been very helpful.

Try Roache marine. They used to be UK agents.

It is Roche I think, we bought our Lodestar from them and they were very good at dealing with a minor fault soon after delivery. Are they not agents any longer?

I needed a valve fitting for my Lode Star and eventually got one via the agent in the Netherlands. However he is incredibly hard to get hold of, and you have to continually push to get any service. Took me 5 months before I got the part

I have also had trouble finding Lodestar about spares. Tried the info@lodestarinflatables.com address on official website, and the mail bounced. I wonder if Lodestar have gone out of business? I have a Lodestar Ultralight. One of the oars has broken - the pin that is moulded into the oar shaft has come off. So, I need a new oar but can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know if another make of oar is compatible with this dinghy? Or another workaround?

Hi - as mentioned in your other thread, try the phone number and be prepared to be very persistent and pain in the a** ! This seems to eventually provoke some response. I believe he is still trading, and has some parts persuaded, but seems to be in a sales-avoidance mode Tel: +31-628652678
