[quote=MN3][quote]When amazon opens a well stocked brick and mortar sailing store, we will compare apples to apples.[/quote]
In the past I have never once ordered a sailing part from Amazon, as a matter of fact i have ordered less than a dozen items from them ever.
I support Local sail shops first, non local sail shops next (APS, murrays, saltydog) and will shop at or order a part to be delivered to westmarine next
I try not to use Amazon for anything, it pays crappy wages (i have a friend who works for them), it kills brick and mortar, it is a pollution king (required a driver for single order items, all day ever day) and pays no taxes

This is 100% true
I have lots my resource for gasket material
i spoke with their sail manager, they had a sale and sold off all their gear
he was helpful and suggested 4 places for me to look for slot tape - all failed .[/quote]
