Sailmail   Sailmail is a private subscription service that uses the protocols and software utilized by the similar Ham service, Winlink 2000 (WL2K).  Reliable but slow, the service assembles many corollary services such as position reporting, text weather forecasts and grib file specification and download. - Greg Temple 

  • Engine Parts and Advice

Ford Lehman and Perkins parts: American Diesel Corp  804.435.3107   Bob Smith has been a generous resource for Whitby and Brewer owners.  He is a supporter of the group and the man to go to for your engine questions - Greg Temple

  • Generators

Westerbeke Generators - Broward Armature  954-583-988;  340 SW 21st Terrace, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312  These folks have supplied several of us with rebuilt generator "electrical" ends.  Way less expensive than using replacement Westerbeke to keep your red beast running. - Greg Temple

Westerbeke Generators - I tried to call Westerbeke, at great expense and inconvenience from the Bahamas, I never found a live person to talk to.  Apparantly sold on the advantages of placing their customers into an endless loop phone tree, I finally "got the message" that WBeke only wants to work with their distributors - so you may as well call TA Diesels for engine parts. - Greg Temple

  • Stainless Steel and Plastic Replacement Ports

New Found Metals   888-437-5512  Many have replaced their plastic Beckson ports with stainless steel ports from NFM.  I replaced My Destiny's ports five years ago and have been happy with them.  Screens could fit tighter.  Installation was straight forward. - Greg Temple

  • Original Port Gasket Material

McMaster-Carr  404-346-7000 located in Atlanta, GA.  If you have the original aluminum ports and just need to replace the gasket material you can get a roll of 100 feet from this company for a VERY reasonable price. This is enough to do all the ports, twice. The part number is 8605K43. - Deborah Streeter

Charleston Spar - Source for Isomat parts. - Greg Temple
RigRite - Source for Isomat parts.- Greg Temple
  • Riggers
West River Rigging Talk to Paul at 410-867-1012.  He is familiar with Whitby rigging and is cruiser friendly as opposed to many Annapolis area riggers who want only to sell you carbon fiber parts and mylar racing sails! - Greg Temple

  • Sail Boat Hardware

Garhauer Marine Hardware, Less expensive and well built marine hardware.  All the items I've purchased have been very well made and have performed their  intended uses.  I've also seen their hardware on many Whitbys and Brewers so I conclude my opinion is shared by others.  Garhauer sells factory direct and their staff is very helpful on the phone. - Greg Temple

  • Sails

Bob Grey, Bacon Sails, Annapolis, MD   Bob is a Whitby 42 owner and has put together special pricing for the group.

  • Stainless Stanchions, Pulpits

Tops in Quality were the source for many Whitby 42 stainless parts.  I'm not sure if Ft. Myers used their hardware but it's worth a call. - Greg Temple
