Greg,

"I priced some things in
a sail shop and it seems they are way over priced."  Welcome to boating!

Cleaning, cruising, safety, and fishing supplies you can pick up at your
local K-Mart.  I bought some cheap dock lines there that aren't very
pretty but work just fine.

West Marine prices are high but they usually carry most of the sailing
supplies you'll need.  Browse the store and write down everything you
need and then go online and find the best prices.  West Marine will
match the online prices of their competitors.

Good luck!

Thanks Greg,
I also have wondered if there was a way to buy some cheaper items. I
have
bought my boat and am told by buyer it is ready to sail. However there
are
some things I would like to do to it before I make first launch. I am
pretty
sure there are some things I need to get like rope. I priced some things
in
a sail shop and it seems they are way over priced. 
Thanks for the advice 
Derek

Derek
Congratulations! I was in your same position last February. The people
on
this forum helped me a lot and I got an abandoned 1979 sailing by the
summer
working on her mostly just Saturdays. I have had to re-do all my rigging
and
learned a few hard lessons I would be happy to pass on. 

I have the manual, but I believe it is in the FAQ section of the GBI
website. 

I have raised my mast several times with just one other person very
easily,
I do not have the winch. We also took it down last month in 18 mph winds
with little difficulty. There are a couple tricks, like tape the stays
to
the mast so they don't kink.

Another trick I learned from doing all this on a budget is I buy my
running
rigging at REI and EMS. Their climbing rope is as good as any marine I
have
seen and is 1/3 the cost. Nicer colors too.

Good Luck, send me an email and I will forward my cell if you want to
talk.
