lifeline builder?

Post by duetto »

hi all,

we had an accident and did serious damage to the starboard lifeline (stainless steel). it may need to be replaced. does anyone know the source of the original rails? i know some have gotten replacement davits from the original shop.

Hi John,

Shortly after purchasing His Idea we had a mishap with a piling which required installation of a new starboard side rail. To avoid removing all the footings we had the new rail and original supports re-welded at the dock. The repair has worked fine over many miles of use.

We had the work done by the same company that built the frame for our aft canvas, and in both cases we were very satisfied with the results. I'm not sure where you're currently located, however the firm is based in Stuart. If your interested in following up I can provide you with contact information.

Good luck with the repair....
