LOCAL HELP FOR FITTING OUT i


f you are soon to get busy on fitting out your boat for the new boating season, then there are plenty of local companies offering all sorts of marine services and


support. Darthaven’s Chandlery, on the Kingswear side of the


river, is celebrating its extended and reorganised showroom by offering a 15% discount (from March 25th till May 3rd) off all normal priced clothing, footwear and safety equipment (excluding liferafts) - 01803 752733.


For fitting out, Noss Marina offer storage ashore on hard standing near water and electrical outlets. boats of up to 10 tonnes in weight and with a beam of up to 3.9 metres can be lifted by their crane and transporter. both short and long term storage is available. whilst you are welcome to do your own work, a marine engineering company is on


site and a list of registered contractors in all marine trades is available on request from their office - 01803 839087.

As the new season starts, it makes good sense to check your boat electrics carefully especially if the boat has been unattended over the winter. Some problems may need the boat to be taken out of the water so it always makes sense to check things before the boat goes back in. Call Andy at AK Marine Electronics for advice and help - 01803 833300 (not to be confused with AK Marine Services).


Another important check if you have gas appliances on your boat is to check carefully all your gas hoses and connections. lPg can corrode the hoses over time so a simple check can pay dividends.
