Hey Steve,

I suggest checking out Steve Seal at Seal's Spars. http://www.sealsspars.com/

I'm looking forward to working with him on a new backstay adjuster for my boat. He came highly recommended by Kame Richards at Pineapple Sails. It looks like Steve has a lot of experience with S22s, stocks a good deal of equipment and was incredibly generous with his expertise when I called him about my project last week.

Speaking of Kame, he's another great local resource. We just purchased a new jib from him, and couldn't have been happier with the relationship. Very informative, looks like he makes a top-notch product.

Another good resource is Cass Marina over in Sausalito. Rumor has it they have a big treasure trove of old S22 parts. I've never had good luck purchasing direct from Schock -- the parts prices and shipping costs are pretty lofty compared to the easy connections I've been able to make locally.

Good luck! C
