From a Lewmar (who bought SL) press release:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SL TOILETS - JOHN MCMASTER GOES SOLO
John McMaster, formerly of Lewmar Scotland, has branched off to form
his own Lewmar spares company, called SL Spares. John has purchased
the SL Toilet business from Lewmar, covering the 391 Kentigern, 396
Standard and the 400/401, for spares and servicing. He will also be
able to supply discounted windlass stock for the SL Seawolf, SL
Sealion and SL Francis.
John worked for Lewmar for over 20 years and has a wealth of expertise
in production and customer service. Lewmar has a good track record of
supplying seemingly redundant parts and this service should go a long
way to keeping many veteran products in working order!
Contact John on 0141 589 6287 or at
