Looks to be one heck of a storm. Not anywhere near the U.S. (yet), but
the tracking prediction charts are interesting.

I'm watching it intently since my boat is on the Jersey shore.
Unfortunately, by the time I know for sure whether I'll have to evacuate
it, it'll be too late. I'm definitely NOT going to get caught sailing
up the Delaware Bay in a cat 5 hurricane.

It was already damaged in a storm a few weeks ago when the finger pier
broke and let the boat wrap itself up against the metal piling. Luckily
all it did was destroy the bow rail. A direct or even close hit from
Isabel and I can probably kiss the boat goodbye. The storm that broke
the finger pier was only around 60mph winds.

Anyone know of a good stainless steel tubing fabricator in either the
South Jersey or Philadelphia area?

They have been around a long time and my local rigger recommended them
when I needed a new bow pulpit for a Cal-34.

Steve should visit a few marinas in South Jersey where sportfishermen
hang out, and find out what shops do decent work at decent prices
building tee-tops and the like. Those shops will be able to handle his
job in their sleep.

Probably so, but Tops-in-Quality already has templates for all major
production sailboats and will probably be quicker and less expensive.

I got a recommendation for C&C Towers, who do just that. I also have a
fiberglass man calling a friend who does top notch stainless welding,
where you can't even tell it's been done. The problem is that I call
these guys and leave messages and don't get return calls. I've been
trying for 2 weeks now and haven't gotten anywhere. That's no way to
run a business. I'd like to get it done by mid October because I don't
want to sail back to Philly with a shredded bow rail. But it looks like
I might have to.

Perhaps they've heard of you through others. People that do certain
tasks for a living don't really like people who think they know more
than they do about that particular task, and I'm certain you are one
of those.

Well, then this is just another case of you being wrong. Add it to the
list.

P.S., you really do seem obsessed with me. It only drives you to
frustration and is not a healthy thing. You should seek professional
help for your obsessions and frustrations.

I'll give them a call on Monday. Thanks. I still have to arrange for a
place to install it though. I could do it myself I guess, but the
marina is paying for the whole thing so I'd like to get it done
professionally.
