New Canopy - Portishead

[Who]

My boat finally arrives in Portishead on Thursday.

It needs a new canopy as the old one has seen better days.

Any suggestions who I can use much appreciated. (Past experience etc)

You could try Marcus at Bristol Sails (next to Force4), or these guys have a good rep:

Mastawerks. The Old Mill, Mead Lane, Bristol, Avon, BS31 3ER. Tel, 01225 874 203. Fax, 01225 874 203

Is your boat arriving on transport? Probably be me lifting it off then /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the info, I will contact them

Yes, being transported by Boat Transport Ltd.

Try not to bash it around too much /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You're trusting Damo with your new boat?
OH MY GOD! Have you seen his handiwork with a camera?
Only joking, we've been lifted a few times at Portishead with no problems, bet you can't wait till Thursday?
Mastawerks are very good, I have also heard great things about Western Tarpaulins (down Midsomer Norton way I think)

Good luck Thursday!

Western Tarpaulins dont sem to exist anymore. Cant find them anywhere.

Damo said he will try not to drop it, at least not too hard /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Nah, anyone can drop it in the yard - it takes alot of skill to do it like this /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Damos Boat lifts....

I remember that one, the sling tore the ips drives off the bottom of it and it ended up upside down.

I think it was brand new being delivered to a customer.

Just to note.... I am not asking you to better it /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
