It looks like Rig-Rite's webpage is back up. It also looks as if there are a few more J-30 parts listed as well. From the discussions previously posted, it seems they may have fallen out of favor with many of you but at least they may be a source for some of the parts many have been looking for lately. This isn't an ad or endorsement, just an observation.

It's good to see Rig-Rite back in business - The folks there really helped me when I had to repair my cracked mast. I also used them for a source of hard to find sheaves many times in the past.

It really only "seems" that rigrite is in business. After several phone calls to an antique answering service, I learned that although the website has J30 metal bits for the rudder, they aren't in stock...and since the drawings burned too...could I possibly send in the old ones? As the parts are in Tortola this is exactly what I've been trying to avoid... even have had Rod Johnstone digging in his garage for the drawings. Now that I have the parts made I spoke to TOPS IN QUALITY... they have ALL the J30 metal bits drawings in a file... maybe they will share with rigrite?!?
