Aluminium  supplies are now coming through, although we are unaccustomed to waiting 10 weeks for certain sections, which is very boring!

In the meanwhile we have changed all the consumables on our ally welding kit, you cannot believe the difference it  makes. This week we are manufacturing 49er trolleys.

The day after Tom’s wedding Chris announced that he and Jo  had got engaged recently on there holiday in Corfu.

After a 15 year whirlwind romance Tom has finally married Rezzy, AND we all had a great Time!

At last we are able to provide some models ex-stock, after lockdown with the steel shortages and compliance problems  we were quoting 6 weeks delivery. However  things have steadily got better, so we are now in a position to offer immediate delivery, please phone or email  for more information.

Solo twin cradle £250.

Sovereign 86 £225.

Wayfarer £195.

W/M style 250 £185.

Today two pallets of tyres arrived, it should have been four,  the next delivery will be in the new year and there will be a price increase, and so it goes on.

Its not just raw materials trailer compliance is taking a lot longer and we can only get three tested at once and the cost is £75 per trailer.

From the initial application  through the relevant authorities  takes 6 weeks,  at which point we load,  drive to the test station get the trailer inspected and return  which takes  a day.

I have never known times like this, we have  decided to remove all prices from our  web site and are  quoting for each trailer at the point of first inquiry, but we will maintain that price until Jan 2022.

This is normally the first thing the  winning competitor says when he makes his speech, (and he is generally a sailmaker)

Having spent a few days at Fed week I wanted to send an image of the team that helped to run the event, this was taken showing  them grabbing a snack  just  before the onslaught.

Finally I would like to thank all Race Officers  and their  teams for running events this summer, well done YOU!

Spent a few days at Fed Week ( re-named Chichester Race week)  although I can’t think why, anyway enjoyed photographing Fireflies.

Favourite image of the week, seriously how cool is this crew! 

Its not been a brilliant week, but we have prevailed!

Monday our very expensive pulse Mig welder (which doesn’t like the heat) went on strike.

Tuesday we had a H&S inspection which took 3 hours, not really what you need when there is a lot of work to get through.

Wednesday the f*****  back up welder expired, ( yes there has been a marked deterioration  in the language in the work shop).

Thursday new pricing on aluminium and it has virtually doubled in price!

Friday flat tyre on the van, and a woman in a people carrier  drove  into a trailer being delivered.

Interestingly this was seconds before impact.

Finally I am not watching the football tonight!
