Although I'm all for a different (ie cheaper) source, your ethical argument makes very little sense. Are you saying you would like to put those Sri Lankans out of work? However little they make now, they wouldn't be taking the job if it wasn't their best option. Who are we to say they...

"I've sailed with your sail in a variety of conditions against some good opposition. I found the sail to perform better than an old legal...
If you say that it isn't fair that I can 'buy' better performance for $200, then why is it fair that YOU can buy better performance for $500? Do you have to be loaded to be able to buy 'fast'? I'm confused. The $200 isn't making me any faster than your $500, so what's the big deal? Plus, I...
Hi guys,
I have already found some really good threads on mast step repair, so I think I know how to proceed. I have two remaining questions though...
First off, all the articles say to install a stainless disc after the repair; but i just recently installed one already, and in fact, the leak...
