I think that will be a chap called Keith Bond, who is trying to make a living out of 2nd hand boats and bits. I wish him luck, and hope he hasn't too many mouths to feed! If you look on Apollo Duck you will often see his name on the ads. I've spoken to him a couple of times, but never done business. I guess he is doing what we have all contemplated doing at some time or another. I know I decided that there no money to be had from it unless you turned into a boat breaker, and sold off all the kit and scrapped the hulls, which didn't seem like too good an idea!

Rupert,
I think you're right, this is Keith Bond working. I too wanted some bits, sadly I wasn't able to hook up with him at bromsgrove after my travel plans changed. He may though be working in the right direction if he can get enough bits to build up that critical mass of bits - but I'd have thought that early on it would be time, space and 'resource' heavy!
I've kept his number to hand though and if I need gear (when I need gear being more correct) I'd try him again.

Is he the guy who does all the boat jumbles.....based over in Norfolk?
If so....he works damn hard.
He does have a very big collection of stuff and has found me a few things in the past
cheers

If it is Keith Bond he is Pete bonds son I think.
Pete was a legendary sailor/builder of Fireballs ( Severn Sailboats) we did battle a number of times at Clywedog and Abersoch, He may still sail on the Severn near worcester at a place called Wyre Piddle (honsetly!!!).

Mirror, GP14(x2), Seadog, Blandford Nymph, and Pegasus awaiting complete rebuild!
Update on the Bond compound - my mother has driven passed it - its now devoid of sailing kit - i assume as by a previous comment these are the business remnants being sold - a local fibreglass company used to produce hull for mr bond they may still have the moulds!
UK beware i return next week, lock up yer daughters! - joking apart if anyone interested in hull or moulds let me know my uk address is not too far from Worceter
