Custom Work for Yachts and Boats - Bronze Fabrication
|
| Now this one has all the bells and whistles. Starting with a 5"
diameter Appledore reefing gear, we added a couple of 8" mastbands,
which had to be fabricated because the mast was oval and slightly conical
(!), plus some belay pins, a spinnaker pole stowage - using one of the
standard spar end fittings. Oh yes and the customer wanted a couple
of reefing handles in bronze
So here you have custom castings, married to standard castings and
fabrication. |
 |
| At the other end of the scale, one customer had his "show-off fast
alongside" wrecked when the gooseneck broke on his RNSA 14' dinghy
and he went full tilt into the pontoon. Using his old pin, a revised and
strengthened gooseneck was fabricated. Now he can show off with
impunity! |
 |
| Not quite sure of the background to this one, but the net
result was that the mast, much of the rigging and the spreader fitting
(shown here, above) of a BB11 were broken after a collision.
The new version is shown in the lower picture, apart from anything
else, stronger than the original, and not much heavier. We also did
the replacement rigging. |
 |
 |
| Another two "before and after" jobs - with no
prizes for guessing which! |
 |
 |
| Three more bits of Golant gaffery, the mastband, stemhead
roller and tabernacle respectively |
 |
 |
 |
| A couple of pieces done for the Norfolk Boatyard, the Gypsy
stemhead, and the anchor stowage for the Smuggler |
 |
 |
| Finally a couple of horses, and a pinrail for you |
