Hi,
I own a Sheltand 535 midway though a rebuild, more on that later. My neighbour has a 570, unfortunately the winter winds got under his tarp and ripped it off also shredding his canopy and destroying the frame work. Replacing the canopy is no problem as there are a number of suppliers. Does anyone know where he can get a frame set ?, happy to buy the canopy and frame set from the same supplier.
Question about my 535 : was this model ever fitted with a toilet. During the refurb I found the remains of a 4" ? metal stub on the inside of the hull under the port locker ?
Regards Neil

After forty or fifty years, who can say what has been fitted in the past. I've a baby blake in mine but I'm sure that it was originally designed for a metal Elsan as standard.

The frames are easy enough to make, you can buy all the fittings and tubing to make it.
Many of the cover makers would do a frame too.
