from 2516 reviews"Miss Behave", my recently acquired 1986 Caliber 33 sailboat, sat for years uncovered on the hard before she became mine. A persistent leak in the companionway hatch had created a rotten spot in the cabin sole at the bottom of the companionway and running into the galley area, high traffic in other words. My quick fix was to cut out the rotted section, about the size of my hand, and patch it in temporarily until I could do a proper nice looking repair. Problem is, the sole was flexing badly in that area due to the loss of material and integrity. My solution was to make up a couple of white oak stringers to insert under there to shore things up. These were installed athwartship and fastened by a single 1/4-20 x 4 inch carriage bolt at the end of each stringer, which were well back into the sound part of the sole. I chose silicon bronze and secured these with square nuts. I am not sure why I chose square, but they worked well. This temporary repair could do the job for a decade or longer. So I can take time with the proper nice repair at the time of my choosing.
Had what I needed and super easy to get it.
As Usual, Fair Winds delivered a superior product in a speedy fashion. I needed some bronze bolts in order to secure my motor mount on my transom. Worked great and looks good too.
I'm impressed. I remember reusing screws but for years that hasn't been possible. They strip out or break. But I have had to drive in and remove these screws a few times and hey still go in like new! I haven't had a single one cam out!
These washers are fantastic. I purchased 15 in stainless steel and had a special job where I only needed three, but they worked perfectly for my application. At some point I plan to purchase the larger quantities in all sizes just to have them in hand in my shop. Thank you so much Rob!
Quality 316 hardware. My orders always ship the day after I place the order.
Everything is packaged and labeled accurately. My expectations are exceeded every time. Thank You Fair Wind!
I ordered 18 different sized sized copper nails, roves and brass screws to determine what sizes would be best suited for my project. The machining on the brass screws and roves was excellent. I was surprised and pleased what they arrived neatly packed and labeled in individual envelopes. My order was shipped in under 24hrs and arrived quickly. I plan on continuing to source fasteners from here. Simon
I have placed several orders with Fair Wind Fasteners, and the quality of the products and the level of service have always been excellent.
These are absolutely brilliant, especially in a marine environment. I used them to make a repair to the cabin sole of my sailboat. They look great, allow a panel or hatch to be removed and reinstalled a million times without wearing out the wood substrate. They make it possible to use a flat head fastener slightly below the surface, without the undesirable wedging, splitting force of a flat-head type fastener. You have to countersink these, which means you need a nice, clean-cutting drill bit, such as a brad-point drill or a Forstener type drill bit. My project called for 1/4-20 bronze screws, so I ordered the 1/4 inch (or #14) size washer for my project. The outside diameter of the washer is 0.542 inches. That rounds up to 35/64, which is a special order size. So my one wish is that the diameter of these was a bit more standard. But they are a brilliant product, give a great look to my project, and I will order again for sure. Plus, now I am the only guy in the state of Vermont with a 35/64 brad point bit. So I have that going for me.
As usual, Fair Winds provides superior product and speedy delivery. I'm trying to get my boat on the water and this was a big help
