I am starting a list of suppliers of original or duplicate new parts for our LMs. While I could wade through all the Forum posts and threads to find windows, canvas, etc., its going to be a lot easier if you would please respond to this Thread with the name and URL of any supplier you have dealt with over the years. This could include sources of new gear that would be especially suited for these older boats, such as roll-up hatch screens just found at the Annapolis Boat Show. This could include any engine parts supplier that you have found to be responsive and affordable. I'll compile these into a document to share on this Forum, and also I'll be glad to update the document with new resources as they are posted. And, if anyone is aware of such a list existing already, would you please let us know. Thank you all in advance. Capt. Chris, Annapolis, Maryland USA
Canvas & Sails - (Denmark) Schultz Sejlmageri ApS These are the people that made the original cockpit canopies and other canvas work (and frames) for LMs, and still have the jigs. (In my experience easy to deal with, a bit expensive from a UK perspective but good quality and service. Website is in Danish, but staff have excellent English by phone & email.) They are also sailmakers. Tlf.: +45 7632 1200 www.schultz-kalecher.dk

Whilst the original ladder seems to be no longer available both Jan and myself have fitted ladders from Batsystem who seem to have the closest equivalent quality item.
www.portmererubber.co.uk This company is in Southampton and stocked the original window rubbers for my LM27. They have a wide selection of other hoses and sections. Happy New Year Paul
They are based near Whaley Bridge, near Stockport. They are the official Bukh distributors for UK inland waterways, but are also used by those with seagoing craft.
