[C320-list] Dutchman problems

[Ted Barto]

The sail discs are called "fairleads" by the maker of Dutchman Systems, 
there are 2", 2.5" and 3" for the different sizes, I can't recall what size 
is on our boats. Available from their website for $14 to $20, when I had a 
sail made for another boat about 2 years ago it was about $200 for all the 
parts on the sail.

Does anyone know where to get replacement parts.  When I bought my
boat I found I am missing a disk and I think one of the cars that goes
on the topping lift.
