Dinghy Chandleries

   Datchet is reasonably reachable from Surrey, esp if N and W, so that's another option.

	Thanks. I think my question is more around whether they carry stock. The cleats I need to replace have nothing written on them (although the bridge over the pawls say Harken) and having checked the Harken website it doesn't fit with any of the sizes listed, so the only way to tell will be to compare to real samples. Maybe I'm asking too much in these recessionary times?

	I spent half a day yesterday going round various chandleries trying to find a replacement for a harken cleat, but none seem to stock dinghy kit - they all service larger boats very well indeed. I know where I live in Surrey about the only chandlery that stocks dinghy spares is Guildford Marine, but they are not open Sunday or Mondays. I will be down the South Coast this afternoon, so would like to try a chandlery down the there, but from memory all the ones I know (Marine Superstore, Marine Warehouse, Force 4, Hardway Marine) don't cater for dinghies either. So my question is which is the best "dinghy parts" stocked south coast chandlery?
