Funny how things work out. I have a very rare in North America English boat and who should come calling as rigger but one Julian Crisp from Colchester, England now relocated to the Florida as Sparman USA. I met him today while he was at work on the dismasted mast of a 52' at Sadler Point Marina in Jacksonville, Florida (

I will have a complete reporting of Julian's work up Wednesday evening (my time) with photographs. Here is his website -
