Landlocked but Loved!
I fly my burgee next to my ‘squirrel’ weather vane over the roof of my garage here in Sheffield. They have a short life as our crows, magpies and jackdaws frequently use them to perch on or peck at!
I have purchased about 6 over the years, the George Cross is the most loved of all the flags!

Hi Sam, The battens are bubble wrapped inside the lower section - this is the safest place for them to be during transit. I have replied to your email to this effect as well.
I hope you get a chance to revise your review accordingly and this restores your faith in our service.
Thanks, Emma (Director)

Checked various internet outlets for this rigging component. Sailingfast had the best availability and sensible delivery charge. Some other popular outlets had ridiculous hidden postage cost.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the review. The website calculates shipping automatically and doesn't always get it right. I'm glad to see it did this time but if you get something that looks steep, feel free to drop us a line and we can check it for you.
Thanks, Emma

Really quick to respond to emails and incredibly helpful on the phone also

The ordering and shipping experience…
The ordering and shipping experience was straightforward and speedy. However, the Ovi White gelcoat doesn't perfectly match my Ovi ILCA's color, appearing slightly grey, though not as grey as the newer models.

Hi Douglas, thanks for the review. Gelcoat match is a tricky one. Boats discolour over time through UV and other environmental factors which means a perfect colour match is unlikely, but will be close.
If you wish to pop some photos over to us, happy to bring this up with Ovingtons for feedback purposes.
Many thanks, Emma

Hi Rachel, thanks for your excellent review, however we don't offer drysuit repairs. You have ordered some team kit from us which will be delivered in a couple of weeks at the Winter Champs. Thanks, Emma

Thanks Ruth! Hope to see you at the Nationals. :-)
Gelcoat colour match poor
Order process and delivery process was simple and quick. Unfortunately the Ovi White gelcoat is not a good colour match with my Ovi ILCA, being a slight grey colour but not as grey as the more recent built boats.

Hi John, I'm sorry you are disappointed with your gelcoat. I have sent you an email asking for photos and to be honest your sail number would be helpful, so we can establish if you have ordered (and been sent!) the correct gelcoat.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, Emma
