Winter 42 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm looking for a replacement Silva bulkhead compass, one of a matching pair. Can't get from Silva in Sweden as they only list the northern zone ones, they point us to the local distributor who doesn't sell that particular one and wont help us as they can only order 50 at a time. I can see it listed online in South africa but they wont ship internationally. Anyone got any ideas? https://silvaafrica.com/collections/compasses/products/compass-100b-h-ms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MartinRF 53 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Who have you been in contact with in Sweden? The Swedish contact listed here? https://silvasweden.com/pages/customer-service I do notice the Stockholm office lies withing walking distance from where I live but I would wait with contacting them. Right now we are in the middle of summer vacation in Sweden so staffing may be a bit sparse. If manufacturing is in Asia it is less likely they have any southern zone specimens in Sweden.

Winter 42 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Hi @MartinRF yes that's who we tried. My partner is Swedish, so she wrote to them in Swedish a month or so ago, we will be in Stockholm in a few weeks so we were hoping we could pick one up. They don't have in stock they said, so it appears to be a ghost product nobody can buy? #frustrating. Any good Marinas worth walking around while we are in Stockholm?

Marinas in the Stockholm area are a bit odd by Swedish standards as they are mostly 'gated communities' -- members/customers access only. Locked gates, barbed wire... There are a few exceptions. The marina hosting my boat is one of them but not located in Stockholm but some 20 km to the south-east as the crow flies: https://www.ksss.se/en/ksss-harbors/saltsjobaden/ The train ride there is partially very nice but a major track maintenance project means there is no train now. Replacement buses are not as nice as roads and tracks are routed differently. Within walking distance from down-town Stockholm you have places like: https://stockholmsfotografier.se/långholmen.html (club harbour with older, wooden boats) https://wasahamnen.se/how-to-get-here/?lang=en (guest harbour only, not a regular marina) https://vss.nu/hamn-varv/ (club harbour, no dock access but a good overview is provided) https://biskopsudden.com/en/ (no dock access but you do get fairly close) /Martin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
