Eurocraft in Lancashire quoted me about £3k for an average spec set of new tubes for a P22. Very helpful too.

Paul Tilley has no P22 tubes. It turns out they are for an Atlantic 22 as I found out to my cost last week.

Henshaws quoted £4500 for 1500 g/SqM full mod spec or £3000 for fairy 1200 g/SqM (standard on P22 Mk2's) tubes with no bells or whistles. I'm going to order tubes with them since they seem to know what they are talking about, unless someone else has any better suggestions?

Ed Banyard in Cornawall has been making them for some time now. He charges approx £2500 . I will look up his contact details if you are intersted.

He knows what he is doing and quite a few of our commercial customers have used him in the past.

Was there much difference in the shape of the tubes from Paul tilley?

Neville,
I'd be glad of his contact details as well, being in Cornwall myself.

One thing I am after is a fairlead for the bow, preferably the type that opens up, allowing you to place the line in and then you close it back up so the line can't ride up out of it.
Anybody got any ideas where I can get somthing like this?

Cheers

Andy

i had one set of p22 tubes and have also got one set of artic22 tubes which can be changed to p22 by changing the attatchment strips as both types of tube are the same shape i should know i made henshaws templates whilst their technical manager .if any one is interested phone me on 07815144269

p22 bow fairlead should be available from halmatic now part of VTgroup as they have them specially made , i think the rnli also used them , all very expensive

Ed Banyard is at Tamar Marine and can be contacted on 01208 873777.

We have had a set a while ago, and i know of several other commercial people that have used his tubes. Im sure Paul Tilley can quote you aswell!

As far as the fairlead goes, Paul is correct, Halmatic (VT) will sell you them for a small fortune! Best chance is to find someone with a scrap set of tubes and remove the fitting. Possibly worth trying Poly Marine, they sell material & parts for tubes eg handles, fender strip etc , they may have a similar fairlead, not the same alloy one though. You will find them on the web quite easily.

I spoke to Ed about tubes for a P22 and he said that he doesn't make mechanically attached tubes anymore, he was the one who put me onto Eurocraft, but I've lost their details sorry!
