I had a problem with the galvanized thimbles on my shrouds rusting =
away to nothing, I had such a hard time replacing them with stainless =
steel that I called International Marine to vent some pressure. They =
gladly replaced them for me and I received them with in the week. Well =
I installed them and went to the marina last week end to sail Biscayne =
Bay. The mast wouldn't go up, way short, I had mentioned to Deb, my =
wife, known as the sane one, that I should bring along the old ones just =
in case but wound up driving home for them. Still It was good to get =
the new ones so quickly from IM. The turnbuckles that came with the =
boat originally are showing signs of stress so I am upgrading them and =
the shrouds are perfect in length for the new up sized turnbuckles. =
I've just recently re subscribed to the mailing list, I will try harder =
to answer my mail in the future.
