In addition to Defender there are several other very good resources here on the east coast: Hamilton Marine in ME Rigging Only in MA Jamestown Distributors in RI Boat Builder Central in FL Island Nautical (fka JSI) in FL Not on the east coast, but I also like Mauri Pro in TX. Speaking of Defender, be sure to shop their annual warehouse sale. They call it a warehouse sale but the discounts are available on-line too. You can save a ton on big ticket items like roller furlers. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Buzzi Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2014 7:52 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: On-line marine equipment resources Defender Industries, Sailboat Owners.com,Gray Enterprises Ports &Parts, Boatersland Marine, BuyBoat Hardware and Supplies from SailCare, Wholesale Marine, JMS Online Marine Supply.

What outfits do you guys use for ordering bits and pieces (and why)? I'll go first: I order quite a bit from www.fisheriessupply.com. Good help on the phone (I usually talk to somebody before ordering) and the prices are okay. Certainly better than you-know-who.
