Hi,

I've got an A frame on my SR4 - have attached a pic for your reference. I'm not interested in selling mine but if this is the sort of thing you are looking for I can forward more details of supplier, etc. It came on the boat and I think the vendor said it was about GBP400?

Tom

Nice frame Tom, I would be interested in the supplier details please.

Many thanks

Looks like it might fit an SR4 in place of the transom supports.

Hi Jon.

No worries - will be using boat tomorrow [as with most of the country's boaters I expect!] so will note down the supplier.

Thanks for all the contacts and links. I've managed to miss two really cheap ones on ebay in the last week. Very irritating. Still on the look out, main requirement is that it must be CHEAP! I'll also consider a pole that I could put nav lights and a vhf ariel on.

how cheap is cheap??

Tim M · 15 May 2008, 20:10

Well, I'll set the scene for you:
I borrowed a searider from a friend to do a yacht racing support volunteer job in. The boat is about 20 years old - knackered old thing. It was very rough that day, and we had to follow some yachts to Cowes. Got to Cowes, turned around, headed for Portsmouth. Came into the harbour, turned around, and the a-frame had fallen off somewhere between Gilkicker and Portsmouth.

I now have to find a replacement! Hence cheap cheap!
