ORDERING AND SHIPPING
Essentially... we are helping those skippers we can at present. No construction of new boats is taking place until the backlog of boats from the previous orders are filled. This has been substantially delayed because of the move, but hopefully everything will begin to sort itself out in the very near future.
If you need parts, please contact me, as they may be available and are easy to ship.
Spars are IN STOCK and READY to ship no no problem.
The *NEW* splice for the large diameter spars IS AVAILABLE ! This has helped TREMENDOUSLY in the reduction of shipping costs particularly international. It is now common to be able to ship the larger spars in lengths now up to 12' spliced for as low as $50 to Europe ! It has also reduced domestic shipping of the same spars to around $25.00 which is VERY reasonable for that much mast. Check the spars page for more detail.
Boats will be built, and placed on the FOR SALE page. I will take orders in the future for boats, and several of you out there have already been promised slots on certain hulls etc... but for the time being (January ATLEAST) we will be focusing on finishing the shop so work can commence properly.
THAT being said... no two boats are ever exactly identical. I am deeply involved in what the skipper is wanting, and have many suggestions and ideas for even the most experienced of skippers. There are many ways to do the same thing, and I rarely follow the pack, either in design, or on the race course.
Ordering is done primarily through EMail.. so that I can print it out, have a hard copy that I can tape to my forehead and hopefully get it accomplished. Phone calls are fun, and free on the weekends.. but I get so many of them... if Larry doesn't write it done... it's gone.
Payments are through PAYPAL, or simply send a check. I have been in business for 3 years solid/full time and have only been stiffed twice, and those were boats that were delivered in return for services that were never provided to me, not a check.
