Great news! After work yesterday I stopped by a local sail repair shop to see if they had any small scraps of dacron or other fun material that they'd sell cheap. Well, that didn't pan out, as they told me that they use all but the SMALLEST of pieces. BUT, they DID have some Smith palms on hand (literally!) and some for sail (I mean SALE). They had seaming palms and roping palms, but only left handed ones!
Well, I got to see the quality of the palms and WOW WOW WOW they seem (seam?) top notch. The lovely lady I spoke with said she'll call and get a quote for 1 right handed roping palm, then she'll call me back in a few days.
I am wayyyy excited about this.
Then Karina pointed out...."don't you have friends in England?"
So where in England would one go to pick up one of these puppies?
