mast boot material supplier

[glynnffc]

I am looking for a supplier of neoprene or similar that I can put around the mast before i fit the canvas over cover.
Google doesn't seem to know, but I'm sure some-one here does.

Sailspar of Brightlingsea once made one up for me, They used a wet-suit type of neoprene, which I wasn't expecting, but it lasted well. It was about £30 10 years ago IIRC.

I used duct tape, it was still effective when I sold the boat two years later after a Caribbean cruise.

Walker Rubber & Plastic Ltd. in Norwich is where I got some several years ago. From memory they have agents/distributors all over the UK.

I have used mast boot tape from PSP succesfully which is a 4 inch wide black self amalgamating tape - at swinderly qty and price about a tenner for a couple of metres. I am sure you can track some non boaty equivalent down through screwfix or similar

Selden have a range of them, and your local agent can get one for you. I used Fox's Rigging in Ipswich.

Hope this helps
