There is that.

Looks a similar colour to mine which is B T Grey
Best bet is ring Gary up at HQ as poly said

[Ribzer]

I rang RBB about the grey paint but they told me they don't do it anymore that's why I'm looking for advice on where I might get it. As regards how it happened, I think the previous owner tied it up and the tide went out, as the a-frame is bent at the cleat on it, the crack didn't appear until the frame got a good shaking on a rough day out

I am not aware of hanging this or any boat off a harbour wall.

Here we go as far as I can remember these supply RB http://www.glassfibre.ie
Give them a call if it is B T Grey you will have to buy at least €90 worth of the powder as it is a special order I know this as I rang them my self sometime ago ( I didn't get any )
IMO get a proper repair done on it and get a paint made up to spray the FG repair it's pretty much out of sight down there

If u can match it to a RAL colour east coast fibre glass will be able to supply cheaper than 90EUR I suspect...

Knowing the history of the boat, what in your opinion could've caused the failure?

That being as it may - I've seen the cleat on this A-frame. It is wrenched outwards and there is a kink in the frame. Someone has been a naughty boy and won't 'fess, might not be you!

Allowing that the entire A-frame has been pulled sideways to achieve what I saw, I think that the concerns about the attachment of the frame to the hull can be set aside while we try to find a solution for the flo-coat.

Last time I needed a splash of grey flocoat, Tom bunged me a liter in a lemonade bottle. Granted, I hadn't blaggarded the brandname on the internet...

Found the code for the pigment and where to get it if you want the email drop me a pm with yours in 2013 it was £13 a kilo minimum order 5 kilos
Hope that helps

I dont think the OP has been doing too much Blaggarding has he ?

[Ribzer]

I think this whole thing has been taken up wrong. I just came on here to get a bit of advice on how to fix an issue with my boat and not to upset anyone or do any "blaggarding". The problem is something that obviously happened through human error by the previous owner of the boat and not by any weakness in the building of the boat - everyone knows that Redbay are the best built ribs out there, that's why we bought one! We are extremely happy with the boat and would buy one again in the morning, hopefully in the future we will be ordering a new one from Tom and Gary. We visited the factory last year and were impressed with everything we saw. Gary has been more than helpful with talking me through the fix and sending out all the necessary materials. I couldn't recommend them highly enough and can't see myself ever buying any other brand of boat.

Thanks again Gary and Tom.
