Alternative sailgate

Post by Mario »

Folks--I ordered a new hinged sailgate from Spartan (SP 101) for our CD 30, and almost four months later, nothing. Each time I call Spartan I'm told that they are backordered and apparently being made and they'll get one right out to me. The old one is usable (with the right amount of duct tape) but I really would prefer a solid unit.

Can anyone recommend an alternative to the sailgate sold by Spartan?

Thanks--

Mario - Try this link. I always gotten quick service from them. Find your spar cross section and click on it. This will take you to a page with all the mast fittings.

I have an order in for about the same lenght of time. No response. They just say they are backordered. Fortunately I didn't wait to launch.
