Kathy and I knew the founders, Earl and Ardis Sexton, back in the late 70's when they started the business in the Kenton District of Portland.
Great people and real sailing enthusiasts. They started out cruising a T-Bird. The present owner is an OK guy, and is about the only local independent chandler. Recently I found a sailboat part there that WM used to stock before they became more of a clothing and fishing equipment store.
