[C38] Rich is an ole timer (boat unit at $100)!

[Bruce Liese]

Dear C38 Friends,

I know this sounds crazy but I have a boat parts and supply business in
Kansas City (www.KansasCitySailing.com) and can beat most catalogue
prices.  It's a brick and morter operation so you won't find any of my
prices on my website, but you're welcome to call me about any particular
products or prices.  I ship all over the country.

I've owned a Catalina 38 for many years and know the boat well so I can
address most parts questions (e.g. .75 vs. 1.5 oz. Spinnakers).

You're welcome to use my cell phone: 913-579-5039.

Best wishes,

Bruce
