Our most important team member has found a cool spot! Meanwhile Kimberley started work at 7.45, before it gets so hot that the gel coat starts to go off before we can get it on!

So happy to see this 30 year old RS200 looking like new! It's an absolute classic that was used as a demo and sailed by many a rock star back in the day!

Cracking photo, we just had to share it!
From Loch Long (featured last week) to the RS400, we're loving Loch Lomond!

Photo of the week - David Sparkes and Fergus Duncanson sending it on Loch Lomond! The moody cloud is obscuring Ben Lomond. The boat name is the icing on the cake! Photo thanks to Bill Fowler.

Every now and then, we get asked to do a job that stands out from the crowd and this was one such occasion. Can you guess how much a new one cost in 1937? Click the link for more pics, detail and the answer!

Two good as new Fevas, delivered to a very keen group of youth sailors. Impossible to tell which was recovered as an abandoned hull from Chew and which was formerly loved at Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club. Meet and greet, thanks to Digby, our most popular team member.
We hope these bring you loads of fun Team Chipstead!

the sun also means most important member of staff, Digby, is back at his meet and greet post plus keeping a supervisor eye on work going on outside.

Really fabulous to see so many old customers and meet so many new friends at the Dinghy Show. Thanks to you all for coming to our stand and for everyone's vast interest in our live boat repair demo's. Really good to chat to so many people. I have lost my voice today!! Many thanks to the skilled part of the operation Kimberley, Rebecca and Grant, for all their hard work and expert guidance they offered to so many people all weekend.
