I have just got the old broken step off, and the new one is perfect and fits in the slot really well.
John Manley
Phil has been a practical and generous source of advice, iroko replacement parts, and cheerful patience and encouragement as I have gained the necessary skills, with the help of my brother renovating my early 1970s Drascombe Lugger. I’m excited to be at the reassembly stage now. The videos are vital and all I need now is to source various bronze chandlery bits.
Pam Stocker

Your email notes and the very clear photos and videos you have on your website are extremely helpful. I took your advice and got the centre plate out without too much drama.
Paul Joice
I’m very pleased with the new galvanised rudder that you supplied me with – it’s lighter than the original rusty swinging version. Also, I’m delighted with the quality of the mizzen mast step and bronze bearing plate.
