Piece to get what you want or pay a cutting charge. You can often buy the whole drop for what the cutting charge adds.

Tx for that and for the others. I did not know the proper lingo.

Have been successful !

I have a new West Marine anchor line still in the bag as well as one of those heavy duty yellow power cords with adapter and two good Torquedo batteries, as well as the defective motor for parts.

Am wondering if that is a good way to rid the boat of them but perhaps I should ask on a different thread.

Jim,

You may be thinking of Sailorman: https://www.sailorman.com/just-in.html

They do consignment...

LW, a nasty spammer got through the barbed wire and posted in an old thread.

They are currently detained in the Tower and their fate isn't looking good

Unfortunately, it meant an old thread from 2018 has been dragged up from the archives.

Why do I ALWAYS fall for this?!?

I think it's perhaps that antique threads seem more interesting to me (please don't say that means I'm an antique!)

For context, I was just talking with the Canvas Specialist at our marina last Thursday after he had just installed some stainless steel tubes on a client's boat. So the offcuts/drops discussion caught my eye.

Or maybe I'm just some kinda weirdo sailing chick...

But then, we know this!

Thank you,
