From a SetSail.com list server email:
-------------------------------------
To the SetSail Community:

We are excited to announce something brand-new: The SetSail Ropes
Program!

This is a revolutionary new way to buy cordage. We have put together a
grouping of only the finest available ropes. You buy in quantity, the
rope
is shipped directly to you from the manufacturer, and you enjoy
significant
discounts (typically 40% to 55% off retail price).

We buy large quantities of rope for our yachts, and we¹ve always been
amazed
at the difference between our costs buying direct, and the pricing in
the
marine stores even those that sell ³wholesale² to the public. A few
months
ago we were talking about this, and an idea formed. Why not make the
same
deals available to the SetSail family? We get such good prices because
we
purchase in full rolls (typically 600'/184m), and the manufacturers
know
that we represent a lot of business. Yet SetSailors could also buy in
full
rolls. If they were to organize their needs to buy in quantity, like we
do,
they could enjoy huge savings.

We are very excited about this concept. Rope has never been sold like
this
before, and it fits perfectly with the mission at SetSail.com to find
innovative products and new, efficient ways to offer them to the
cruising
community.

We approached our friends at Yale Cordage (Yale has been the primary
supplier on our personal yachts as well as client builds for over 20
years)
and they were also intrigued. The end result is that we have worked out
a
deal to make their highest quality ropes available to sailors on
SetSail.com.

The prices are low, and the quality is the best you can get, anywhere.

You can explore the new Rope Store at http://www.SetSail.com/Ropes.

For an introduction to the SetSail Ropes Program, how it works, and why
to
buy in quantity, see:
http://www.setsail.com/store/catalog.taf?function=detail&product_id=500.

We've also posted a new 13-page article from Steve Dashew on Specifying
and
Buying Running Rigging. Whether or not you're shopping for rope, you
may
want to download and check out this article. (The above pages have
links to
the article.)

We hope you'll stop by and take a look around!

Best regards,
The Crew at SetSail
