I am looking for someone relatively local to me in Surrey/Kent to do some works on my Phantom.

Its a general tidy up, some rope works, spar varnishing, slot gasket etc

Any recommendations ?

Cheers

I had a brief response from them - not really positive though

I don't know that they do that much racing dinghy stuff, but Ossie Stewarts outfit under the Harts boatyard pub in Kingston, Stewart Marine certainly do a lot of wooden boat type maintenance, and I've had them paint my Canoe when I was short of time. Mr Stewart himself is of course no stranger to a racing boat.
Of course this isn't the time of year to get a "next week" job from anyone.
