Hello,
I am the owner of Hull #126 Shanti and live in the Cayman Islands which most of you probably know was devastated by Ivan. There is a photo of Shanti on davidolson.com and it seems to be most popular on many sites in the US. For your information, Shanti was moored in a sheltered creek on a 400lb anchor, 50 feet of 5/8 chain, another 50 feet of 3/8 chain going to a large car engine block that being anchored with 30 feet of chain and a Danforth. The Category 5 hurricane dragged this huge amount of ground tackle 1/4 mile and the boat was grounded and left leant against a house - there must have been an 8 feet surge.
The two main nylon rodes chaffed through on the seawall and the thing that saved it was that I had put the Fortress anchor over the side with all the rode and tied a bowline to the mast. This held it between a tree and a house where it was beaten by is salvageable if I do the work myself. I have a long restoration job and will need to know where to get various bits like spreaders, tiller, pulpit and pushpit. Any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Mark

Mark, I think I found the picture. Is it ... http://www.marek.qc.ca/cayman_ivan/photos.asp?dir=Folder1&pic=15 ? That's an amazing picture!! For the spreaders and other rigging items, you can contact Rig-Rite. They now own the rights and remaining inventory of Kenyon Spars. They also have the replacement stanchions. Rig-Rite's contact information is on the website. From the home page, hit the "Market" tab and then "Equipment Suppliers". I believe that you can get replacement bow and stern pulpits from "Tops in Quality". I don't have their contact information handy, but you can probably find them on the web.
