Swift 18 Owners

Headlining is the worst job on a Swift! We got our specialist supply of vinyl and glues etc from Hawke House Marine Fareham, all excellent guidance and quality. BUT it is a really tricky job! My advice? Get it done professionally. :( Best wishes,Pauline We once had Rondonay, now have a wooden Broads ...

If you are out on the Norfolk Broads, Rondonay will be there to greet you. We will be about too in Brilliant, a classic 1929 wooden Broads sailing cruiser ...

Hi Peter, I have now sold my Swift, but am still on the Broads as indeed is Rondonay herself. Do get in touch if you would like to chat about your lovely boat. The broads has a Forum too BTW, The ‘Official’ Norfolk Broads Forum, you may be interested, and there are lots of opportunities to ask fo ...

Hi, I think there are a couple of problems with your idea. :) Those plinths are the support for the mast arch above so any incursions need considering from that point of view, that is to maintain structural integrity.

Jeckells Upholsterers of Wroxham, Norfolk might be worth a look. If you have the originals, for taking a pattern and, maybe reusing the wooden infills, any competent upholsterer should be able to do this job, it is fairly straightforward. Marine/boat usually costs more and the materials are not ...

Hi Dan
I made one but unfortunately it is on the boat 160 miles away!
What did you have in mind? Heavyweight or nylon?

Hi Mike, It opens for me right away, so I don’t know what to suggest unless you have disabled images somewhere? Check your profile.
