[C38] Links section on C38 site

[Max Soto]

Hey Charles and Anders, 
How about adding a "links" tab  on the web page????
Links like Kansas City Sailing, Catalina Direct, Lefiell and many others could be posted there as resources for the C38 owner... 
What do you think???

Regards, Max

When we had to outfit a crew of 5 for the 2009 Trans Pac with foul weather gear Kansas City Sailing came through saving us hundreds of dollars compared to the manufacturer, re sellers and such.  Bruce and his team worked with each member of our crew and me to assure we had the best equipment at the lowest cost.  Not to mention a great deal on a chart plotter.

I currently use New England Ropes Sta-Set for almost every application on my boats.  I've experimented over the years and I find Sta-Set to have the greatest durability, moderate stretch (since I now limit my own sailing activities to cruising, club racing, and an occasional Newport to Ensenada race).  I find that I just don't need the higher tech ropes for the kinds of recreational sailing I do.

I'm always reluctant to mention my commercial affiliation on this listserve because I don't want to be perceived as taking advantage of this great resource (by self-promoting).  I'm writing today because the question posed by Pierre is about Sta-Set and I'm such a big Sta-Set fan.  I'm also writing to remind list members that I'll always extend the best possible service and discounts to fellow C38 sailors.  Our shop actually ships merchandise all over the country and we've have had an e-bay sailing store for many years.  You can find our shop at www.KansasCitySailing.com and or check us out on e-bay.

I promise that our shop will provide very personal service, ship most items to C38 owners for free, and (probably) beat any advertised Internet price on rigging and other sailing gear (deck hardware, furlers, etc.).  Several sailors on this list are already our customers and regularly use our shop as a resource.

My next purchase pennies are targeted for a Wichard Gybe-easy boom brake... Oh yeah - the woodwork is another topic in itself..

According to another web site, the recommended length is 117'.  I want to go with no-wire Sta-Set X 7/16" which at about $120 appears to be "cheap" enough. A YouTube I saw showed it's all a matter of butt-splicing the ends (old to new) together with waxed thread and pulling through.
