Sprayhood repair

Post by nealsett »

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can repair the sprayhood on my Maxi 84. She is in the water at Craobh Haven and the hood has suffered in the recent bad weather. We are based 6 hours drive south and are trying to find someone handy and local to Craobh to help out.

We've never used those services in Argyll, but, if you're willing to divert your travel via Ardrossan, then I'd recommend Jessail. Excellent quality at competitive prices.

So far, Jessail has added several years to the life of our fairly old sprayhood. We are very pleased with their work.

I think there is someone still doing upholstery at Craobh - failing that Owens Sails.

I've used Jessail for upholstery and canvas work and have only praise for them.
I've also used Nicholson sails (Roseneath) and they are very good also.

Alison McCall was doing sails and upholstery in Craobh but I don't think she is now. Call the marine office- they'll know.

Owen Sails are the closest and they have someone down in Ardfern/ Craobh a few times a week.
