Sprocket,
I am a member, although I haven't really paid all that much attention to
the program. I know there are some discounts for the sail perks members,
but I don't know if they apply to all of the Sailnet merchandise, all of
the time. I do get a coupon in my email once a month or so for 10% off, or
special prices on some items they list. Haven't really needed to buy much
stuff lately. I joined and paid the 15 bucks mostly to return their favor
of administering the other Rhodes list.
Hey, you mentioned auto racing the other day. If you don't mind my asking,
what do you race and where???

Roger, Sprocket, et all, <br>
Don't know if everyone know this or not, but JSI/Airforce sails has been
affiliated "somehow" with Sailnet ever since I have been on
this (the other Rhodes) list. I think that would be coming up on 3 years
now. There has always been a section in the Sailnet web site for
JSI/Airforce. Don't know what this means as far as ownership is
concerned. But, they've at least been working together for this long.

Richard & Toad, <br>
I just saw this notice. I appears SailNet has bought out JSI. They are in
<br>
the process of moving the JSI sail loft to S. Carolina. If you are still
<br>
considering ordering a full batten mainsail from these folks, then take
<br>
note. <br>
