Everyone we sailed with on Lake Champlain had the Defender cataloque. You could actually find what you needed for your boat at affordable prices. The stuff simply was not available more locally. I made a few trips down to the store as well, what a great place it was to visit. No glitz, just the stuff you were looking for. And everyone was always a joy to deal with, I never had a problem they couldn't solve.

Now we sail and live in Maine, I support our local Hamliton Marine for the very same reasons. Thanks Stephan for keeping Defender alive.
