I made a trip to Lee Valley today and they are slowly getting more and more chandlery type stuff in. I was qwuite impressed. Their souwester hats are as good as any modern rain protection, they have an entire section of teh book shelf dedicated to seamanship and boatbuilding (including a book on DIY sailmaking) and a bunch of navigation/weather tools.

They also have bench dogs that look like a close match for the closing hardware on the poptop and forehatch.

You might want to keep them in mind if you are hunting for boat bits at non-chandlery prices. www.leevalley.com

Wow, this is a cool place! I could spend hours looking through the catalogs.

This would be kind of cool on the boat. With a citronella candle you could light the cockpit and keep the mosquitoes away.
