Does anyone know the supplier of the lighting board frames that fit on the back of a Dart 15?

These are the ones seen on a number of older trailers, they have a galvanised frame which clips over the bottom rudder pintles and fixes with a nut+bolt to the top rudder gudgeon. They also have a nice mast support, so you don't have to tie the mast to the rear beam.

I've spoken to both the current Laser Centre trailer suppliers who don't own up to having made them.

Any advice on where I might be able to get one from would be appreciated, if all else fails you might spot me with a tape measure in the boat park...

Thanks,

Jonathan

Thanks Phil & Bob for the info, it was Lizard Trailers; they are still in business and should be getting back to me with a quote. The chap I spoke to there remembered building them - it seems they stopped suppling the Laser Centre when the production of Dart 15's was moved from Cornwall to Banbury.

I'll let you know how I get on.
