In all the years I've been involved with SBO, and there have been many, I've never once visited that section of their web site until I started cleaning out my closet this morning. What a mistake I made - there's a lot of good stuff for sale there and at GREAT prices. Which reminds me - soon (maybe a a bit more than soon in some sections of the US) sailors will be getting their boats ready for launch and thinking about items they'll need to complete the launch. Be sure to visit the SBO ships store first. SBO provides a service (forums etc) that is not available anywhere on the web. We should appreciate that and give them the first crack at our needs. Think about this - what has West Marine or Boats US done for you lately - or ever.
