I bought two high spec sails from Kemp who did all the measurements. I had to collect them from Gosport, no offer to come and fit. The main is 10cm too short in the foot, the battens were the wrong size, there were burn holes near the luff and only two spreader patches supplied for a twin spreader mast. No apology, just excuses. Second attempt, still the wrong size battens! No extra patches.
Third try, finally the correct battens and patches. I then discovered that the clew slider fitted is too small and pulls out of the track when the wind is above 10 knots. Still waiting for their response on that after 10 days. Would I recommend them? ????????????????????

I visited kemp sails at gosport and asked if they could repair a canopy on my Fairline targa, the person told me he would visit the boat on its pontoon and get back to me in a couple of days, a month later I hadn’t heard anything so I visited again where I was told he would visit the following day and get back to me, once again no contact was made, a month later I phoned the main office where I was advised that no record was held for me , with that the very polite young lady chased up my query and got back to me explaining that the job was too complicated for them and that they were not confident on doing the work. It would have been professional and courteous to have let me know that they were not interested in my job or maybe my Fairline targa is not posh enough for them, I am disappointed that I have wasted two months as I could have gone elsewhere. 🤬
