Spiral sailing in Australia |
Buying new boats and replacement parts |
Buying a new Spiral gives you a nice warm feeling . . . especially when you deal with the Association’s contact, Simon Hill. Simon can be contacted on 029449 7183 during work hours and he is the only person through whom a new boat can be ordered. Call him, give him all the details of what you need and it’s like water off a duck’s back all the way! From the moment Simon issues a work order to the boat builder, you are in control of your order . . . but if needed, The Spiral Association will assist you in any way possible.
