For specialized dinghy racing equipment write to the following address:
INTERNATIONAL SAILING PRODUCTS (ISP)
P. O. BOX 355
OYSTER BAY, NEW YORK 11771
Phone # 516-922-5182
ISP is not a low cost vendor but they do carry some exotic equipment
not ordinarily stocked by the mainstream marine suppliers.
Interestingly enough, some of the rope items they carry such as tapered
spinnaker lines and spliced bridles come from Japan.
