It’s been a while sine we last updated you on what we are up to. I took a look yesterday and was shocked to find that my last update was waaaay back in April. Anyhow, I can at least say we have been busy which has been great for the team. We had some sad news about our good friend and bag sewing man Jonathan who sadly passed away from his illness. A sad loss to his family, us and the wider sailing community in N. Wales and beyond. Whilst we had already located a replacement manufacturer we have been sat in a queue with our rig bags and transmitter covers for some time now. Last week we had a meeting and have now sorted out the way forward which includes having the rig bags cut on a funky machine for us to then stick which is speeding up production time. The next batch of bags are going directly to RC Yachts but we should have our own stock shortly after.

Sailmaking was busy through mid / late April and through May but has tailed off a little into June. Lots of sails for DF classes and IOM along with a couple of “specials” for different classes and one off builds.

Other than the delay in rig bags and TX covers we have sent lots of accessories including sticker sets, deck patch sets and sail number sets all over the globe and they continue to be well received.

Our RC Laser stock has been replenished and I think we hold stock of most if not all, items that you might need for your boat. Sock levels have been updated on the webshop and you can purchase directly.

Other than that we are plodding on. The big boatyard hasn’t been super busy but it’s July tomorrow and the summer holidays start soon enough soo we’ll be busy I’m sure. Phoebe finishes primary school on Friday and turns eleven on Sunday so we are off to Yorkshire for a few days to see my mum and have a bit of a well earned break. As such the workshop will be open to deal with orders but there will be no postage between 4th – 9th July. The house is still ace, we’ve loved every second of being back in it, Emily is well and I’m in good shape although I’m missing sailing at the moment due to a slight health issue that we’re working on. Nothing serious, just a few too many years of too much fun reminding me that I’m no bionic man!

As always the webshop is open 247 to take your order which we’ll aim to ship as soon as we can. Rig bags back soon, some black TX covers in stock now, sails made to order and everything else from stock.
