Ok, the Sailing Pro whatever guide is still up and running obviously. It may have some helpful hints, but for buying parts, Murrays is right down the road from S.B. where you live. I strongly suggest you buy parts and equipment from them rather than Sailing Pro. They just drop ship from Murrays anyway. I have had some close friends get burned by SPS in the past. Not isolated occurances but others accross the country getting burned too. There was even one incident I heard about (from the victim) someones CC number being stolen and used in the So Cal area. The only thing that linked it to a certain individual at SPS was the ticket was signed with a nickname that that person knew her by.
