![]() Tandeka |
Tandeka is a Bluebird, designed by the late Mr Ken Watts in the mid 40’s, like many an old boat she was in need of some attention. The photos show the story, time and the sea had been working there magic, with fittings coming loose and the shrouds showing signs of imminent failure. |
It’s been a while since these were manufactured so we set to and re-made the spreaders based on measurements from site and the sketches in the catalogue. | |

Like the spreaders, the goose neck fittings have long since ceased to be available, so a we machined a new gooseneck plug, manufactured a gooseneck bracket and fitted a gunmetal knuckle to complete the assembly. |
