If you know exactly what you want, (length, diameter, brand, etc) than
ordering from Rigging Only is a great source for having this stuff made
up and shipped in. If I needed advice and lived near Brion Toss Rigging,
I would pay his price and have him go over the rig top to bottom. I have
met Brion at boat shows and he is "The Rigger" to have look at the boat.
