Wont use them any-more.  For a variety of reasons, none of which are due to their service....Lasers being sold at minimum weigh and optimum rake, racing winter handicap evens with illegal kit.  Various other questionable around moral compass in my opinion.

I don't find them "utterly useless", but I have been using pinbax more recently. I have had issues with things being out of stock, and cancelled an order just a couple of days ago for that reason. But other sources can also have stock issues, and where Sailboats remain fairly good is that they do let you know what's happening. In general I find their communication more effective than Pinbax's, even if the news isn't always what you want to hear!

Yep- refuse to use them anymore.

P&B, Suntouched, LDC and a couple of others are sufficent for my needs.

What a complete shower.
Never sheet out.
