Are there any recommendations for someone to look at making one for me in the Portsmouth / Hayling / Chichester area ?

Does anyone know if Stainless Dave is still going? If so, he'd be my first port of call. He is/was based in Titchfield, but lives on his boat in Haslar Marina

Any idea of likely prices for an arch? I had heard they were fairly pricey but just curious .

Apr 17, 2019 - Price. For having the arch built in our pushpit on our Beneteau Oceanis 40: a little less than 4000€ including VAT. For having the arch built as an independent structure and added on top of the boat: 3200€ including VAT.

I was just quoted 4K, the solar panel is now being replaced with a flexible one mounted on the spray hood when required...

I had one done last year, cost £2000 fitted on deck and push pit

 

[tinker13]

I had a quote just before Christmas, 2 options, Moody47

- Total integration into pushpit - £4K (like the one built on Ryan & Sophie YouTube)

- Attach to our existing pushpit - £2k

Fabricator is based in Chichester Marina - Chris, CB Marine.

Going to go ahead with the £2k option.

Here at Northney Marina a Vancouver 34 had a arch built by LatBros. The owner was happy with the work and both brothers seemed to know the work.
They are based on Hayling Island.

I am in Northney. Do you know the name of the V34 so I can look at their arch?

Sorry it was last summer and he was heading to the Caribbean later on in the year.
Perhaps give the brothers a call, I would imagine they would have a photo or two.
