WISH LIST 2012

There are always things I need for this project.  Being a classic boat, one of my dad's designs, and of a certain vintage, Diana sort of demands the 'proper' stuff, of the correct style and vintage, most of which will be passe nowadays-- which is just find with me.  As much as I like them, for example, I would not put Lewmar 'Ocean' blocks on this boat, nor square-bezel Raymarine gauges, and so forth.  It has to stay in the proper aesthetic.


Following is my list of hard-to-find items, for which I am willing to swap or make other arrangements to acquire.  If you have any of these, or know of them available, do be so good as to e-mail me (don't post here; it's not so timely) and I'll respond promptly.

- Schaefer halyard stopper 71,92-X.  Carried by Rig-Rite; but they are about the most expensive people out there especially when used gear will do. Common on all Hunter boats through about 1980.

- Schaefer halyard stopper, 70,91-X, for the side of the spar (port).  As above--

- Forespar Mini-Galley, 150000 gimballed cooker.

- Lewmar #7 or #8 winches, chrome only, pair.


I will update this with more later.


I have oodles of stuff to sell or trade, perhaps to sweeten a deal.  ALL of this will go on eBay within a week or two (with pics).  Among other things I have, at present:

- Alum. boom, about 10-11 ft long.  Same section as Hunter 25's.

- Alum. boom, about 5 ft long.  Mizzen from (rare) Essex 26 ketch.

- Various PVC fittings, bought but not used.  Mostly 1-1/2" or 3/4".  Whole box load.  Lengths of scrap pipe too-- if you come by you may take them.

- Bosworth Gusher pump, NOT through-deck mount so I didn't use it.  Needs rebuilding (new diaphragm) but I will do that if you'd like.

- Elec. bilge pump, Attwood.  NOT spark-proof (for open boat only).

- Stern light staff, like for motorboat, for standard Perko deck socket (old, looks new).

- Alum pipe, 2" pipe size, 3 lengths @about 5 ft each.  This is heavy-wall (Sched. 40) structural pipe; might make nice rack for something, onboard or ashore.

- Forespar 6061 alum spinnaker-pole tubing, 3" tubing size, 16 ft long, ordered for customer who stiffed me for it.  Never used, never cut; currently holding up my winter tarp.  Was $409 in West Marine catalogue.  Have it listed on Craig's List for $250 ONO and will deliver within 100 miles for $100 (2 hours of my time, less cost to you than via truck).  Make offer-- or find for me some of the stuff I do need!

- Beautiful old-school (about 1965) Wilcox-Crittenden cast-bronze dash-mount throttle, for 1/4-20 (not 1/4-28; so needs adapter for modern cables), believed to have been bought for Cherubini Sea Scamp in 1960s but was never installed.  This is an heirloom.


Tons of other stuff-- if you have needs, e-mail me!  :) Whatever I do not have I can of course get for you at some discount.
