Hi George... I can't speak for last minute availability, but KateBoats at Warwick have [to my way of thinking] nicely fitted-out boats at reasonable prices--at least they were quite a bit cheaper than the large multi-base companies at the times that I hired from them. You could even mention my name, if you thought it would do you any good!!
