Well I finally have all the paperwork, the name change is set, and we're in business.
I'm now the proud papa of West Coast Sailing. One of two Vanguard dealers for the Northwest (US)
I am looking into doing some special deals for members of this forum and a few other Vanguard boat forums. Anyway, stop by if you are around, or write an encouraging e-mail if you are in the mood.

Congratulations, West Coast! Hope you sell lots of boats. A Laser in every garage (or dinghy parking space)! Seriously, it sounds like a cool way to make a living, selling a fun boat. Good luck to you.
Well Mr George, encouraging to hear you are doing some 'special deals'.... now is your chance to shine, we await with bated breath.
By the way i have just had to wait 1 week to buy a sail from a shop in San Francisco. They had to order it from the east coast - hopefully this is not a common occurrance as the deal almost fell thru (still might).
GOGOGOGOGO WEST COAST OWNAGE! so now that i have you attention do you wanna sell a black diamond carbon tiller to me in aussie for cheap (cuz i cant seem to get one her) ????? LOL
thanks guys, the online store is under construction. In a few days, we'll have the most neccessary items up, free shipping except on the heaviest items (centerboards, etc)
I look forward to contributing all I can to the Vanguard community, especially to us Laser sailors. Contact me with anything Laser and I'll do everything I can to help.
Congradulations on the new dealership! I hope it all goes very well.
I will be sending you an email soon with some ideas on how we can work on some special deals for this forum and possibly the Sunfish version of this forum as well ( www.sunfishforum.com ).
Hi George,
Congrats on the new business! I hope you truly successful in spreading disease... The Laser sailing bug that I am afflicted with can be contagious and perhaps one of these days I'll be able to charter a boat from you for sailing at the Gorge or at one of the West coast events...
Sincerely,

For centerboards, rudders and spars, there will have to be a small fee, those things are large and heavy enough to cost more than sail/parts/blocks/etc. but I'll get some quotes for those things and we'll see what we can do
