smitty 4 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Does anyone know of a supplier in Auckland of alloy tube suitable for a spinnaker pole, inside diameter 52mm. I've tried a few of the bigger places like Ulrich but it seems the nearest size available is 50.8. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 You may have to use a larger diameter tube and put a spacer sleeve inside. Link to post Share on other sites

elevation 3 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Kilwell has seconds at very reasonable prices. Quite often all that is wrong is that there is a small scratch on the finished product. The kite pole and prod on my boat are both Kilwell seconds never have had a problem with them. The prod is a Melges 24 section. Very handy that they are within walking distance of home. There number is 07 345 9094 Link to post Share on other sites
