Where can I get these from ?

[Sixpence]

Don't know what they're called but I need two of these, or something similar, for the sprayhood. Any ideas ?
Found one link but at £10-00 for two it seems a bit excessive /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

A tenner for two sounds about right.....

Try Hawkehouse
Look under Sprayhood fittings, Universal Deck Fittings, £5.07 each.

Oh dear /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif that's two votes for the price being about right, but now I know what they're called I might try my local supplier. Excellent place, sells all sorts of stuff out of boxes so you don't pay for more than you want. Picked up this lot for £3-00, just hope it was a good price

Dave,
I think, that with all the bits you have purloined/cadged out of all the sheds and yards on the East Coast, that you should have either a Roll of Honour pinned to the bulkhead, or the contributors logos on the sails of the boat, bit like B&Q or similar /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Its an environmental project....

The worlds first fully recycled boat..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Seriously.... you've done really really well to get her on the water with such a limited budget. I hope that she lives up to all the hard work you've put into her.

 

[Sixpence]

My dear Jim, believe me I am working on it /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Said it before and I'll say it again, there are a whole shed load of decent people out there, what amazes me is how many of them are East Coasters /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Having said that, I've also had help from Scotland and the South West, and even the North West, though most of these seem to be shy about admitting it /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Sixpence]

Thanks Niel, not sure what people would think if they realised just how tight that budget has been, but I suppose if nothing else, it does prove it's possible to do it. Maybe not in the true traditional way, but for a 21ft boat she's doing well.
Once the next hurdle is over, who knows what's next

Well, he has a very fine log book for free. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It even has his ships name published on it and the makers details (Tucker) in the back. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Don't make the cost of postage more than a tenner! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

See you at the Mercury Meet 2009 then. I printed enough pages in the book for a passage of that length.

On the right hand page, there is a section for astro navigation and other weather phenomenon you might encounter! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
