West marine.......in current USA state of dysfunction?


Recommended Posts

Anybody traded with them lately?

I'm looking at 2x Lewmar footblock jammers for gennaker sheet. Way cheaper than anything here if i buy at current US$ freefall.

Conversely. Rutgersen from Sailutions foot block any good? I will have secondary tie off.

Although, Lewmar has better FB on operation.

I don't want to remount my secondaries.

Visited a couple of their shops September last year in San Francisco. Prices have gone up alot and stock holding terrible.

I guess it comes down to the maths whether to buy from them, does [purchase price + freight + GST] converted to NZD give you a better outcome.

I have bought quite alot of fittings directly from Garhaeuer, good quality at a reasonable price if you can get it sent to a US address.

Also had good experience buying yacht fittings from Mauripro, https://www.mauripro.com/

Cheers.

Garhaeuer is out as 4x price as much as I like their tractorish design. I have bought their clutches before. hard on lines but don't let go. All metal.
