I have an elderly rampart 32 foot motor cruiser. She is a gorgeous craft but would look even better with the four missing portholes replaced. They are the bronze Simpson Lawrence type dating back to 1935.
Any one know where i might find such items?
All info will be greatly appreciated.

David.

Hi David.Only saw your post last night as I've been off the forum for a while. My parents owned Philae back in the early 60s having bought her at Brightlingsea. She was brought up to Boston where we collected her and took her through the FossDyke and Witham to the Trent, where we kept her at Nottingham. I last saw her at Lincoln sometime in the 80s, somewhat changed but obviously still in use.

She was a lovely lady in good condition in those days. You obviously have done a lot of work and as one wooden boat owner to another I hope you have a good time with her.

As to your question here, Mirelle is right. There is another place trinitymarine but they do not do (I think) smaller portholes.
