Spinnaker pole

It's always handy to know where to turn when you need some help with the rigging - or the 30 year old Yanmar that needs a reconditioned alternator. If you've had a good experience with a supplier or craftsman, let us know who they are by posting their details here. Please start your post title with the general topic in capitals at the beginning. For example:

Take a good long hard look at the photos. The ends (which can be bought separately, see link, are secured with pop rivets) It should be possible to drill them out and remove one end and associated fittings, shorten to the desired length and drill fresh holes and re-rivet. All you need is a power drill, pop riveter, probably a vice on a bench and suitable handyperson. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294781794512 ... SwLHFh9mcj
