Hi

Has anyone here got one of those Musto Windstopper jackets? They're fairly
pricey but they seem to be a quality item. Any feedback?

Also, has anyone had any dealings with Pineapple Sails in SF?
Good/bad/indifferent?

thanks

I don't have any experience with the Musto product, except third-hand...
very nice is what people say down here.

Pineapple Sails (http://www.pineapplesails.com/) are in Alameda not SF, and
they are fantastic. We've had many, many dealings with them over the years
(they've donated stuff, gave us breaks on sails, fixed sails, given us
advice), and the owner, Kame Richards, is a great guy... helpful, honest,
etc., etc. No financial interest here... just a very satisfied customer.

They're not very high-tech. Good people though.

Could explain a bit. Thanks - I'll give it another go on the strength of
that.
Just where is this Alameda? Is it near LA? I'll be passing through LA
around Xmas on my way to Las Vegas.
