G P Barnes Yacht Candlers

As a new comer to boating the whole scene can seem massively daunting. There is no clear route in and the combination of large sums of money flying around and no obvious guidelines on the legal and social side of things can put most people off. I’ve recently made the decision to invest in a boat myself and no matter how much I read on the subject it never seems to get any clearer. This is why Graham Barns is a priceless asset to the local community. This shop has all you could need under one roof from biodegradable paint to clothes to small RIBs. It’s not just the physical side of things either. Graham himself has been running this emporium of all things marine since 1990 and has a hand in the running of the Lady Bee Marina which means that not only does he know boats inside out but has a great depth of local knowledge to boot. I can honestly say I wish I’d stopped in here sooner.
