Didn`t realize Rex Francis actually makes them,thought by now it could be contracted out. Impressive that it`s not and Rex is still building them from scratch. Looks cold in Melbourne.
I`m gradually seeing more Sarcas in Sydney,and there are good performance reports. Odd that Whitworths don`t stock them, but some other chandlers do.

Joy Francis, Rex`s wife, must be elsewhere. We met her at a Sydney Boat Show along with Rex. I have a vague recollection there is a son who works in manufacturing. Impressive that a small specialized anchor design and manufacturer in Melbourne is exporting anchors to Canada(and probably elsewhere), as well as serving the Australia with world class anchors.

Joy was there with Flic. They are exporting all over the world. Not just Canada.

Dunno about that mate. I couldn’t have made it without a little help from YouTube, google and the sailrite videos. With the right tools anyone can make anything if they want to.

Excellent work on those covers and the trim panels. With the skills you're building while building and finishing your boat, you should never be without fall back work. When I was in the upholstery business, just covering those trim panels would have been around $100US each and that was back in the 90's.

Yeah mate it’s a sailrite machine. The material I used for the window shroud/frame was HMR MDF, Epoxy resin and glass mat, spray glue was Probond SG400, the foam is from Dunlop, the leatherette is Nordic marine grade vinyl and the thread is UV resistant dabond 2000. Not concerned at all about the foam. It comes with a 30yr warranty
