Hi there,

Does anyone know if Shetland did a 14ft open top fishing boat, just seen one on ebay, but have never seen this on the past model page, just would like to know before considering a purchase.
Thanks

Re: original gel coat

Thanks Keith, will certainly be looking for this product, is it on eBay as Farecla G6 rapid liquid compound? If this is the one, it is available in 1 lt bottles, how far will that go?

Any one any tips on how to bring an old boat back to life, we have an old Shetland 536 which is more of a magnolia colour, or an of white I would say, and it’s beginning to look worn, I would like to try and restore the original gel coat back to a nice shine rather than the dull looking ...

Re: TURN BUTTON HOLE PUNCH

Thanks Admin,

Just looked at the site, was hoping to find it cheaper than £117.96, as I only need to punch a couple of eyelets, anyone else had this problem ?

Thanks

TURN BUTTON HOLE PUNCH

Hi all,

Just purchased a new cockpit cover for my boat, however I now need to add some eyelets to the PVC cover for the turn buttons; does anyone know where I can buy a tool for punching a hole through?

Thanks

Re: Rain water

Hi All

Thanks for all you suggestions
Same here, rain all weekend again, forecast is looking better for next weekend so I am going to try all the suggested places to reseal, including cleats, pulpits, all deck fittings etc, (if it stays dry)
Fingers crossed that will sort it,
