Topic : Help to repair my Merlin

During last Merlin Open at the Ranelagh I have seriously damaged my boat. I have now a hole in the hull (where the rake of the mast are fixed). the hole is approximatively 10x30cm large. 
I'm looking for a boat builder who can repair it. Ideally if it can be done at the Ranelagh sailing club it would be perfect.
If anyone can help, please email me [email protected].
Thanks

That doesn't sound very pretty, Guillaume, and will need a good boatbuilder to fix as you need new pieces of plank scarfed in.  Laurie Smart is based in Hayward's Heath so is not really very local, but I don't think you will find anyone who will come to you.  My boat is in his shed having some work done at the minute, he even has a mobile now that he answers.  I hope it is an insurance job.

Guillaume, as Andrew sais Luarie Smart will be your best bet. Quite an easy route from Putney. A3, M25, M23 J10a Hayward's Heath about a 50min drive. Give him a call. When he has finished with your boat you won't even know where the the damage was!

Can heartily recommend Stanley and Thomas at Windsor. They have done several jobs on wooden boats for me and I have found them excellent craftsmen. I have no connection with them. Have a look at www.stanleyandthomas.co.uk
