Fin & Bulb for a Phil Playle built Widget

I have stupidly lost the fin and bulb for my Widget. Its the later type with the skiff style deck and I am informed that it is a Phil Playle built item. Any help sourcing a replacement much appreciated.

It certainly was! Considering the distance & value of the yacht I admittedly was sceptical this was going to be viable. But the purchaser’s efforts were excellent, he did all the groundwork & arranged & paid them upfront. They (UPS) then contacted me direct, mailing all the delivery paperwork and we then arranged pick up timings. They didn’t pass these onto the purchaser so he was slightly out of the loop. We however did & indeed with ‘that’ photo when it was picked up, delivered on time as promised . You’ll probably realise I’ve had no previous experience of this, but totally confident if similar action needed.
Lastly I haven’t mentioned the ‘purchasers’ details as I simply haven’t ok’d that with him. My thanks to him he was great. Good sailing

Hi John, I would agree that cost certainly plays a part in less restricted classes but am not so sure hull construction or weight limit is the overbearing factor. Yes an IOM can be built to a reachable minimum hull weight. They can also be built strong and lighter than that minimum weight, carrying correctors carefully placed for improved performance.
In the Marblehead class there continues to be boats home built around the world that are more than competitive with any of the leading designs. Well built older designs such as the Paradox, Starkers and Skalpel to name 3 that go back 20+ years are generally of a similar or lighter hull weight than modern builds. As for cost and tooling, arguably the most successful M hull of recent times was built over a an inexspensive shaped foam plug. Of course a level of skill is required, but that is no different for any home build in any class.
That the bare materials to hand lay up a competitive home build M are comparable in cost to the bare high modulus carbon tubing for one mast, before any fittings, rigging or sails are added shows where the largest cost lies. Now multiply the rig number total by up to 6 and the cost of a hull is minimal by comparison.
That said, despite minimal promotion the M and 10R classes continue to have a solid following at National and International events in various parts of the world.
Great to see this new build taking shape and look forward to further updates.
Cheers
Brad
