Shetland Kestrel spray hood

Post by bakeronboard »

HI
Could anyone point me in the direction of a manufacturer who could make a spray hood for a kestrel? I have seen a couple of 570s with them fitted and they look excellent. I contacted Ratseys (Wales) as I'd read an advert for a 570 that mentioned that they manufactured it however Ratseys would require me to take the boat to them and that is not realistic as I live in the north east. I thought it might be possible that someone has had one made and the manufacturer might still have a template.
Many thanks, Rob.

Any cover or sailmaker should be able to make one up, there must be some in the North east somewhere?

Hi, there are two listings on Google for sailmakers in my area both contacts are mobile numbers however and though I have left messages on both (twice) I have not had a return call. There is also Storrar Marine near Newcastle but I have always found them to be expensive for chandlery in the past and am a bit loathe to contact them. I wondered if anyone on here might have had one made and if so the manufacturer they used might still have the template.

I had covers for my 535 made by phil at Nauticover in Cornwall.
Phil is a great bloke and holds many patterns but I don't know about a 570 spray good.
