?Try giving Steve Madden a call at, Madden mast and Rigging in Annapolis, his outfit is at the same place we held last years Regatta his number is 410-280-2752.



He keeps a slip at Port of Annapolis where he does most of his work.? He just replace the?roller furler on my?boat and moved my boat sown there to do the work at?no cost.?? 



If you schedule the work during the winter you may be able to work out a discount.?

There are lots of them in Annapolis, Irv, but I doubt if any will travel that far for a small job unless you are willing to pay them hourly for travel, which would raise the cost a lot. If you were to bring the boat to them then it might be another story. But between Annapolis prices and the need to pay for dock fees probably this is probably less attractive financially, unless you were planning on bringing the boat to Annapolis anyhow. I've used Eastport Spar and Rigging, Chesapeake Rigging, and Atlantic Spars and Rigging for various things over the last ten years, and was most happy with Atlantic. You can find them easily with Google.?
