Thanks for that Ian.

We delivered one sail to the Netherlands with no VAT. But looks like Greece is more strict.

I do know that even with VAT taken into account we are considerably cheaper than almost all local sailmakers.

I guess the right thinking is to assume VAT, but if it doesn’t get charged it is a nice bonus.

Michael Storer

Thanks again
Michael

No afraid not. Greece is 23% vat. Cost me 120 Euros. Ah well its still going to be a reasonable price to get back on the water.

Hi Ian, glad it arrived OK. Was the tax charged at the normal UK 20 percent rate?

Michael

Now to start work on the old wanderer dinghy to get it ready for the spring. I did get hit rather heavily with the import tax, but I’m sure its all going to be worth it. Thanks for a prompt service.

Hello,

We are waiting for more fabric to arrive. It will be here in 10 days. The first sails we will make will be the Oz sails to suit the ocean explorer as well as OzRacer and OzGoose.

Best wishes
Michael Storer

Hi Fred,

We will put updates on the website as we go.

Ilo Ilo is such a nice place!

At first we will be making sails for Michael Storer boat plans – the Goat Island Skiff and the Oz Series. The Oz series is the OzRacer, OzGoose and Ocean Explorer – see the first page of the website for more information.

We won’t become a ganeral sailmaker – we will only focus on a few different boats that are popular. That way we can compete with the big general sailmakers in other countries.

Now you have subscribed to the website you will get updates automatically.

Best wishes!
