Besides the hole, I have a bent bow pulpit and three bent stanchions. Any recommendations where replacement parts can be found?

Also, my tiller snapped-does anybody still sell the solid ash straight model?


Are all repairs going to be done for the NOODS this weekend?

All repairs (reasonably) done. Bit of tape around the old split laminated tiller so the extension bolt stays on, and one ugly gash along the starboard side, but we'll be there!

I wouldn't miss these next two weekends if it killed me!

We are there-looking forward to sharing a beverage and a toast with the "Teresa/SA/Chicago" team!

Some people just don't get it, do they..?but it seems only natural that J.Doe should be sailing incognito...
And monkeyboy, thanks for all your hard work in helping us girls set up Teresa's boat so the rest can all just flu in like rockstars...
see you at the NAs....

Not only where the meanies there, the gash, and the slightly distorted pulpit don't seem to have slowed them down a bit! (Of course, it helps when you can toss a hail mary pass into the endzone and have it land!)

Cyn, glad I could help you guys get ready to be out there.

And even hail mary passes get caught once every long while. Of course it might just have been that bottle of rum Steve was hanging just in front of the boat.

Steve

I also have a bent bowpulpit on Bluejacket. Have lived with it for a while but would like to replace it.
Note that the "new boats" (new cockpit layout) have slighly different positions for the pulpit bases than the "old" boats. So..don't rely on a manufacturing soure that may have an existing J30 pulpit dimension on hand. Yours (and mine) could be different. Let me know what you find out..maybe we could offer the manufacturer a double order.
