Those of you with Porter built boats may be interested to know that a new company Ian Porter Sales is now up and running. Amongst other interests they offer a repair and refurbishment service. Ian Porter is very helpful and remembers the albacores they built in the original factory in Emsworth, Hants. For anyone who is interested they are now tucked away in a unit in the Emsworth Yacht Harbour. They have just completed some basic fibreglass repair work to Blue Jay to get me started on my tidy up project. Who better than the original builders to solve those tricky repairs. In my case I wanted a good repair to the original side tanks as the joints to the floor were starting to crack and were leaking. At the same time they identified and repaired some floor damage. Nice to find people who are knowledgeable, helpful and get the job done promptly. Blue Jay was delivered on Monday and collected today Thursday! If you google Porter Bros the new contact comes up,
