Does anyone have any leads on where the hurricane boats ended up? I need some rudder hardwear .732-687-3082

I have no input on what happened to the hurricane boats. However, in my search for a replacement boom I noticed that Rig Rite sold new rudder hardware. You can look them up on the web at www.rigrite.com.
Please note that this is not an endorsement for Rig-Rite as other J/30 owners, in this forum, have advised about difficulties in doing business with them. So far, my experience with Rig-Rite has been good (that is if you don't mind doing business by fax). I have a new boom section on order that Rig Rite claims will ship in three weeks. I will advise of my success.

i guess they only work by fax. but even though I have faxed three requests for rudder pintle pins since october I have yet to receive a reply. they say they had a fire and that they have this answering service since temporarily. I asked them if everyone died in the fire--they said no one died. Phone service could be restored in 24 hours if that was the real problem.

I too had some trouble with RigRite's response. When ordering my boom, On my fax order, I requested acknowledgement of reciept of my order and to be advised of delivery. After several days of no response I called and requested some type of confermation. The answering service did not give me any level of confidence either. However, several hours later I got a call from a very friendly and helpful person. You might want to call the answering service and request a call back.

RIGRITE was unable to help me with my rudder hardware...don't waste your time. Tops in Quality has the drawings of all J30 metal bits and can make up a set of what you need. Rigrite called me back about a month later and said they could make them up but I needed to send in the old parts...they were not sure of cost or lead time...

Does anyone have a phone number or address for Tops in Quality?
