Looking for a Bow Plate for a Mk3

[Whimbrel]

Hi Everyone,

My Mk3 needs her bow plate re-welded or replaced.
She's moored in Pittwater, NSW, Australia.
Who can competently weld stainless steel around here?
Or, who has a spare bow plate (and roller) that they'd like to get rid of?

I had a bow plate re-done as part of a re-rigging process about 10 years ago. It's still perfect.

The guy that did was with Riggtech at RPAYC Newport. I don't think Phill Bate works in the business any more, but the company has been taken over by some others from the Bate family.

Alternatively, there is Marcus Engineering in Brookvale. https://marcusengineering.com.au/
I've not used them personally, but they have a good rep from the local mechanics in the area.

Hope this helps.
