fantom Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 last week i had my old calypso serviced by Rosco at the Brisbane Cat Centre and today I had the opportunity to take it out..... what a difference the old girl handled like a dream .. thanks for the great service Rosco. I would encourage others who have had great service and help to leave a note so as to let these people and companies know that they are appreciated. So many times you only hear about the bad service and the people who are supplying good value for money never get a look in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantom Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 yes i have dealt with them before and i have found their service good .. but they are only open mon to fri and from the southside to their factory would mean to take 2 days off work (1 to drop the craft off & 1 to pick it up) This post was not to compare workshops so much, but more as to give some appreciation of work well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansonfamily4 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Can you tell me what is done during a service and how much it costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantom Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I talk to Ross from the cat centre and discuss any problems or queries that I have with the craft and he will usually advise me of what adjustments need to be made and quotes me on such work ... if he thinks that I am barking up the wrong tree or wasting my money he soon tells me .. that alone I really appreciate. Things like rudder alignment .. replacement of rigging relacing the tramp just to name a few ... the best way is to ring them and have a talk to them. Are you coming to the Peel Island Marathon at the Cleveland Yacht Club on May 15 ... Should be a great day plenty of boats and a lot of knowelledge to be shared. I am a great believer in replacing gear before it breaks or lets you down .. and having the right people do the right job but at the same time I hate being had a lend of.
