We welcomed Kelvin, who joined us in May and is our splicing and swaging specialist! A lifetime of boating, sailing and being on the water gives him a unique perspective on ‘what works!’. Give us a call to quote your snubber, bridle, mooring lines, tow lines or anything else - when experience matters!
Custom mooring and dock lines are now done in-house to your exact requirements. Just this month tiger rope was used for a tow line, a mooring-line was made up with anti-chafe and dock lines for a 30 metre boat which we colour-coded the ends with whipping – make life easy for your deckhands!
