> Ok, it's 9 on Wednesday, as a practical matter, there is plenty of time
> to make up your mind (more on that in a moment), but here is who I have
> so far:
> 
> Me - Want 1
> Lou Stark - Wants 1
> Mike Lehman - Wants 2
> Gordon Laco - Wants 1
> Bob Crinion - Wants 1
> Meinhold, Michael J. - Wants 1

> 25 units total.  The manufacturer has cut our per-unit price to $64
> each, doesn't sound like he can cut too much more off it, regardless of
> the quantity (says he hand-turns them out of expensive Delrin).  The
> good news is that he has offered to honor this $64 price for Albergers
> who don't participate in this group purchase but want one in the future
> (although you would need to foot the entire $12 shipping).
> 
> The manufacturer doesn't want to make 25 of just the wrong size, what we
> have decided to do is have two made and shipped right away, Lanny Helms
> and I are both going to replace them in very short order (hopefully
> within the next two weeks) so we will be able to confirm sizing, etc. on
> one older boat (152) and one newer boat (562) (if anyone else needs one
> right away, let me know and I'll see about having another one put in the
> 'test' shipment).
> 
> The sheaves are $64 each, the shipping will be somewhere a bit north of
> $12 for the whole lot (higher than the original $12 due to the increased
> weight of a large order), and the re-shipping via priority mail will be
> $4.20 each (for US addresses) plus any box cost (I will check tomorrow,
> I believe the USPS priority boxes are free).  For anyone in Annapolis
> willing to pick it up from me the cost will be $65, for anyone requiring
> re-shipping from Annapolis, final cost will be $70.00 (unless I have to
> purchase boxes, if so I will send another email to the list tomorrow).
> When the sheaves arrive, I'll re-box them and re-ship.  Anything left
> over (obviously not a lot) will be used to purchase beverages for the
> re-shipping party.  Any locals who want to get in on the re-shipping
> party (I've had one offer already, thanks, will take you up on it) shoot
> me an email.
> 
> What I would like to do, as I cannot front the entire $1,600.00, is to
> have anyone who wants a sheave (or sheaves) send a check to me for the
> appropriate amount ($65 or $70) payable to Zephyr Werks, once I have all
> the checks I will send them to the manufacturer in a single batch.  I
> need one check payable to me so I can net out the re-shipping costs, but
> I'll deal with one of you individually for that.  By the time I have all
> the checks we should know if they fit, or if they require adjustment,
> and will place the final order accordingly.
> 
> Please send the checks to:
> 
> Andrew L. Cole
> 410 Second Street
> Annapolis, MD 21403
> 
> If there are additional orders, there is still plenty of time, but let
> me know as soon as possible to add you to the list.
