Anyone know this company?

I need to buy a Navpod to mount instruments and a plotter in. I have done searches on Google, but this is the only company that comes up that is at all sensible. However, they have no phone number and I will always be suspicious of dealing with a company you cant contact.

If anyone has any other companies supplying these things, then I would be glad to hear.

Cool

Your local boat builder will be happy to build just what you need to your own specifications.

He will lots of closed cell foam off-cuts he has no other use for and can build you any shape or size with as much or little customising as you request.

All this and an agreed price up front.

Just one phone call should have your project underway.

PS If you specify epoxy resins it will be lighter and stronger as well a little more expensive.

Galadriel, I bought mine from Adrenaline Sailing in Gosport. They didn't have the one I wanted but only took them a couple of days to order it in. They were the same price as everyone else at the time.

Thanks Pete, I've now found a supplier who has a phone, is being helpful and so I will be buying from him.

Never heard of them but they're only about 5 minutes walk from my office

Might go stretch me legs one lunchtime and report back...
