Re: can\'t get one

I have also filled in the details on their web site to register to receive the famous catalogue................................ so far not a sausage !
What's the secret of success ?
Do you have to buy something first ?

Re: can\'t get one

I rang them and requested my first. Doesn't cost much for a 30 second call to the States off peak.

Why not support UK companies? we all complain when companies move their factorys overseas and jobs are lost.

Re: Who needs this PBO forum .....

I quote Fatipa's post

free catalogue with descriptions, comparisons, fitting instructions and general info and advice on just about any marine related product

he is not advocating buying from them, but using the catalogue for reference purposes.

I picked up the catalogue from the <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.accastillage-diffusion.com/catalogue.asp?z1=RMBbdXulrK0Lb0C6TdDnID6f&f7=10&f2=1> chandlers in Cherbourg </A> the other week for just that purpose.
You sometimes come across things not seen before, and it's interesting to see how the prices compare.

Re: Who needs this PBO forum .....

On the quay in Cherbourg, away from the marina but facing the locals pontoons in the harbour, is one of the nicest traditional chandleries I know. Try it next time you are there.

Re: Who needs this PBO forum .....

The product range in the US is way beyond what we have available in the UK.

I've been looking for a very long time for a bow mast that will allow me to fly a club burgee. Impossible to find in the UK, in the US they have many, including options that simply fix on the bow rail. If you know of a UK supplier, I'll be happy to hand over the readies

In a similar vein, I have a sportsboat, and the typical UK wooden pole just doesn't suit. The US alternatives have hooks that you can fly a burgee or flag from an antennae or nice looking metal flag poles.

The range is so much better than we have available here. Unless anyone can show me a UK source that's better?

That's a challenge. I'd prefer to spend money with a UK supplier

Re: Who needs this PBO forum .....

Ok that is true, but then I would say its not exactly on to order an expensive to produce brochure with no intention of buying anything from it.

Re: Who needs this PBO forum .....

Fair comment - accepted.

Although, I must admit to having a copy here, but it was sent without request, having only subscribed to the website.

But....it is very useful and imformative.

Mine\'s just arrived

I ordered it over the web in early Feb. It just takes a bit of time. Maybe they post it via some yottie coming roughly this way...
