[Public-List] Rigging Lengths / Strippers - solution PS re Arco

[John Birch via Public-List]

Did a follow-up check on the sailing blogs, some folk are not having 
problems getting parts for Barients from them, some are.

Seems those who email and follow-up with a phone call to Oz are getting 
results. The phone calls seem to work best.

Apparently their prices are pretty fair even when shipped to North Amrica
