"I was sorry to hear that Ensign Spars didnt reply to your enquiry.
"There was a short period of time when as ES transitioned owners that probably things got lost."
My comment was not meant as criticism. This occurred about eight weeks ago, so the transition was done.You will notice that the first sentence of my reply was that the OP should contact Ensign Spars. You will also note the comment in my second post about Ensign Spars delivering a mast to the East coast.
ES responded to my email inquiry about a mast and we had a nice telephone call, but they let me know that selling an extrusion and shipping it 500 miles was not something they were excited about doing, and thay just never followed up with a price or shipping information.
Again, none of this is meant as criticism, The reality though is that the OP keeps his boat ten miles from Annapolis, where there are riggers galore who likely have better and more frequent access to spar suppliers. Transportation issues really complcate sourcing a 25' extrusion so it might be best to deal with a rigger who has experience ordering extrusions. I live in a similar place with lots of yards and suppliers, and found that getting a section that long quickly is a challenge, even here. I suggest that anyone in this spot explore all options.
Ensign Spars is my first stop for Ensign specific parts and both Chad Lewis and the new owners supplied parts for my boat. Bob Conkey expedited a rubrail insert order for me when we discovered that the insert had not been included in an earlier order. I was very grateful for that extra help and certainly do not intend to damage their business.
All of that having been said, I hope that this forum is not so restrictive that we cannot openly discuss all available options.I have spent years sourcing parts for my boat and have found that if ES does not have a part, Rig-Rite (which, BTW, was the original source for Pearson) usually has what I need.
