I need a new drop nose pin for my anchor securing arrangement. I looked around and was horrified by some prices. e.g. £14.10 plus postage from

However I then noticed pins with easy finger grips which were cheaper and looked good so phoned up to order one. A hasty discussion on the other end of the phone and they said they would send me one as a free sample in the post.

Assuming it arrives, they deserve some praise and recognition. I post at some risk as I am rather hoping the whole yachting community doesn't phone up asking for a free sample as well! Hopefully they will get some trade and stay in business for us all.
