Not happy with your post MattK, think you should take your post down. This is not what this forum is for.

Think all has been said to be fair - its a truly shocking job which should only cost £300 tops!! You may have done so already but our B14 rig is currently at a specialist here in Southampton and i'm sure he would talk to you sensibly about options:
Pete @ Zest Racing - www.dinghy-repairs.co.uk
or
Jamie @ Synthesize - http://synthesizegroup.com
Both are B14 specialists and more importantly CST repairers! Hope you get it sorted before the season kicks off!!

Jim You are wrong, these people do need to be shamed, perhaps not publicly but a quick phone call to insurers soon gets them off the repair list. For the sake of anyone planning to use them in the future.

You do indeed, and many of them are ******: remember its all done for the show: you really don't want to actually believe anything you see on television without independant corroborating evidence. I had a friend whose business was forced into bankruptcy because they happened to have a vaguely similar business name to one of those exposes, and can you forget the flash mob who went round and smashed up the house of the local paedo - except she was the local paediatrician? I bet the entire story looks very different from the other side: it always does. |

In the same instance Jim, it's a completely appauling repair and you do get shows on BBC such as rip off Britain and ones about cowboy builders that name and shame. £2k for that job is a bloody liberty, especially where it's meant to be for a mate. In addition, would stop us actually jumping to conclusions and thinking that the wrong guy did it. What happens to the next guy who walks into that boatbuilders and actually foots the bill for it? I'd lose sleep about him our her and not the "cowboy" builder. Think about it, that's a £2k mast repair, what about buying a £20k 14? That's before you even consider the safety implications.

Guessing games of that kind are always best avoided... we've already had one guessing game cause problems...

Can we play a guessing game... Does the repairer start with an "R"?

This is true, apologies for any confusion. This is not about who did the repair it's about how to make it RIGHT. Thanks to those who have suggested companies we are waiting for the expert replies
