Race style consoles and seating - where from?
I'm currently looking into the seating arrangements for my Osprey XR20 which I intend to race next year, as well as leisure use.

http://rib.net/forum/attachment.php?...3&d=1117351260

Does anyone have any idea where I can find similar things to that? I'd only be looking for a bare moulding, as I'll be rigging the boat myself.

Cheers

Paul

You could try Mike Whitham. He builds Ospreys and has built those race consoles fairly recently.
His number is 01704 823455

Ahh is that the fella I've heard about. Must live near here as it's the same area code.
I've heard very good things about his consoles and the quality of his work for glassing them to the deck!

His workshop is in Mawdesley Lancs. I know that he last year or early this year he took a race console off a vipermax and replaced it with leisure type console/seats for Kris of Brugge Marine. Don`t know what happened to the console he took off. He`s got to be the most obvious person to contact.

A couple of years ago, Kris was selling a 5.5 Vipermax in yellow & green with a race console, so if it's that one, the colour may not be ideal.

That's great cheers guys, I just rang Mike who is going to see how much Brugge are going to want for the console! It's yellow, but I'll get I'd sprayed black so that's not a problem. Only trouble is it may be a bit large for an XR20, but we'll see
