& accessories where do you all get them from, been googling & nowt found...???
-
I think most of us just buy generic model sailing boat parts, and fabricate some other parts ourselves.
Suppliers include sailsetc.com, Housemartin Sails, and others.
I am sure others can chip in with contact details for Housemartin, and suggest other suppliers.
Was there anything specific, or is this just a general inquiry for the future?

Plenty of Info here and a shop dedicated to bits for improvement

All the bits and bobs on my Victoria are sourced from fishing tackle suppliers.

[/size][size=78%]Having heard stories of lost rudders I drilled the top of the rudder post and looped a bit of wire[/size]
[/size]through it and the rudder servo arm, [size=78%]
[/size]I am now in my third year with this set up sailing on average once a fortnight with the Vic and I have[size=78%]

Ned Please sort the Goblin out or PM me th pics if you would be so Kind everybody says From a fishing tackle shop but pictures are needed for us newbies as goin in and asking have you got something that will do this not always a good thing .I watched one Vic on sunday only two stays on the mast and little thingies normally used for aircraft as Bottle screws .Best of all he got rid of that abomination of all that string and a ring all over the deck .Just direct to each sail .Oh and he won easily

To hold the jib boom to the foredeck I used a fishing swivel
and snap hook .
