Sorry for answering so late, but like you, I was busy and just have seen this message above...
Good to hear that you enjoy the CD
If "Santa Claus" would ask me, "Hey Lu, what should I give you?". I would say: "In whole Europe, we not can get the "UHMW-tape"/1-Mill-$-tape (f.e.: see this link: http://www.apsltd.com/Tree/d90000/e88162.asp -> "Laser Spar Tape").
Pleeease "Santa Claus", maybe you can send me a little piece of that stuff, to be able to see whats about it with that sort of tape and to try to find that somewhere else here." The "Mast Wear Strips" and the "Mast Step Wear Disks" we can get here in GER and at the UK (www.c2marine.co.uk).
Good sailing George and Frohe Weihnachten (Happy Christmas) to the westcoast of North Amerika.
