Where to get King Starboard in Europe?

[Fishbones]

Hi,

Anyone know of an online store that sells these boards by the meter. Searches have only led me to US stores. Maybe it's called something else on this side?

What is it?

What is it?

It's plastic (polymer). I have it on the transom where the outboard is mounted on instead of the usual wood board.
I need about a square foot of the 1.5 inch board.

Like this

I don't know but it is definitely avialable in UK. Fairline use it in a few places in boat builds, and I had some custom furniture made (in Wales) and the makers got hold of it for the job. good luck

Try giving Brooms a call, they use it in their build and for table tops. I'm sure Andrew Stone will help.

Thanks all for the help.

@BrendanS
I have emailed martel-wessex.co.uk but by the look of their site I don't think they will bother with an order of my square foot of the 1.5 inch board.

@sunquest
I am not familiar with Brooms. Do you have a link please?

Cheers.

ah, if you only need an offcut, try ebay, or one of the alternative boards. There was a thread on ybw a few years back. I'll see if I can find it.

Yep, here you go, last year...

So I guess King Starboard is High Density Polyethylene. Did a search on ebay for HDPE sheets. All sorted now. Thank you all

Great forum!

Cheers.
