Recently bought 2201 and I,m in the process of restoring the old girl.She came with no transom flaps ,where can I buy transom flaps for my Merlin ? or is it a case of making them myself.Can anyone help ,the boat does have self bailers as well ,Ive heard that transon flaps don,t really work well ,my previous dinghys all have had only self bailers so a little advise required I think.

Go to B&Q and buy a sheet of purpex and cut your own that even cheaper.
