Hi Don, Just wondering if you have tried aliexpress.com? Taobao is the website targeted for the Chinese local market (ie Chinese buyers <> Chinese sellers). Are there similar items in the aliexpress platform?

You are right Paul. Sorry Zoltan for bringing it up. I have asked because I am at the shrouds rigging stage and needed an advise. I should've asked the question in a separate thread.
