Stainless fabricator in Poole - Midas

[Sinbad]

Well despite a new battery, and a new GPS Antenna all of which were unexpected , From Charlies recommendation - I'd previously commissioned Dave at Midas Engineering to make some rod holders to go above the cabin, to supplement the ones on the transom, as these become a nuisance in all activities other than steaming to/from a mark.

 

Charlie had advised against my original plan of mounting a set of rocket launchers on the side of the cabin, as these were bound to get in the way when going forward.

 

Anyway, I picked up the finished article for a test fit, then he polished it up, and it was fitted this weekend- as pics show - Its perfect for what I wanted, and the fabrication is high quality. The smaller dia rod passing through the bottom of the rocket lauchers prevents the rod butt resting on the deck , for those rods with metal ends and a groove in the plug (gimbel?)

 

I can recommend Dave as an potential alternative for those not wanting to travel over to Stainless Steve - he is very accomplished and knowledgible of welding skills, working on sunseeker / princess custom designs etc, as well as being an active yachtie. His wife does the dodger/cover side of their business, producing cushions, sail covers, all work in vinyl etc.

I'm going to get him to price a set of seat cushions eventually. Might be a one stop shop for those elusive folding pram cuddies!

 

Dave can be contacted on 01202 684620 - address is unit 4, Slader Business Park,Witney Road,Poole BH17 0GP - not far from Aldi / Hatch Pond Road.

 

Mention that you are in PBSBAC - hope you find this guy useful.
