Len, I am sourcing all the components for the battens through a chap called Robin Blane @ Sunbird Marine - he quoted me for making them up as well, but it was...
Hi Mike, I know nothing about sailing but I am sure I will soon pick it up. I thought you said you making the batterns folding to make the preformance to...
