I like Sailnet, and order from them mostly, especially since they have all
those mail lists. It pays to shop around. My last purchase, (some sheets and
blocks), I found cheaper at http://www.pyacht.net/ even tho the blocks
were ''on sale'' at Sailnet.

I'm also not entirely happy with the West/Boat US combination. But I
don't
expect handouts from them. They'll price at whatever they think will
make
them the most money, and I'll happily take my custom elsewhere if I
think
their prices are too high. Problem is there are fewer and fewer
elsewheres.

Who goes duck hunting with Jamie Gorelick?

I can think of one good reason not to buy from this combo. WM has been
selling merchandise for a while that carries their name. Prime example are
their inflatable pfd's. WM's are manufactured by SOSpenders, and WM
carries
this brand, but they don't carry Mustang. BOAT/US used to carry Mustang,
but
they don't now. Wonder why? Happily, I can purchase a lot of the stuff I
used to get at WM-BOAT/US from http://www.sailnet.com/ one of many on-line
chandleries, usually for less even when you factor in the shipping.
