Currently restoring a 32 which spent sometime pretending to be a submarine before it was recovered and pumped out. The rear deck has a safety rail which has been bent out of shape quite badly (presumably as a result of going under.) Does anyone know if replacements are available or, if not, whether there are bespoke fabricators who could make a new one?? Any responses much appreciated!

I can't offer any advice, I'm a newbie to boats and am just googling my way through trying to restore my first one which is also a Norman 23. I'm just curious to know what it looks like and am wondering if mine needs one. Could you put up a photo?

Hi fitvit,
From the Norman 23's I've seen, I've never seen one with a rear safety rail. I presume the deck well is deep enough not to warrant the need for one.

Try Darren Marsh's business at Kempston, Bedfordshire.

BARWELL SPARES & SERVICE LTD
01234 852915
3 LYON CLOSE KEMPSTON BEDFORD MK42 7SB

He does stainless and aluminium fabrication, made the pulpit, stanchions, davits for my Ocean 30, all in mirror polished stainless. Mind you - we wre a bit friendly at the time but that was a couple of years back.

Tell him Clive sent you - he'll make to dimensioned sketches or if you are close might even pop down and measure up.


Finally living the dream!

Yep, you are unlikely to find a ready-made replacement but you might be able to have the existing one repaired.
