  Hi all! I'm on the hunt for a new fiberglass Arriba stick (black), 63" - 118. Anyone have a source? Murrays and others are sold out. Not sure if the source has closed shop or what (some guy in AR I think).

  Arriba comes and goes. One man operation. These folks have some in stock: https://www.westcoastsailing.net/default/arriba-hot-stick-fx6-63-120.html
  
  For $20 more though Rick @ New England Catamarans can hook you up with an all-carbon Nacra tiller extension, also adjustable, much better IMO.

  Awesome, thanks all! The build goes...slowly. Let me give you an idea:
  
  "Oh look, a small crack in the gel, it's probably just surface but let's get the Dremel and find out..."
  
  Two days later, several layers of epoxy, 9oz cloth, and more gel to finish, that small crack is fixed. Yay.
  
  Wash, rinse, repeat. On the plus side, the end caps, rudder arms, and castings just got back from media blasting, zinc, and powder coat. Super-pretty.

  It's been some years since the subject (and this thread) last came up, but I"m on the hunt too. I've put up a want ad, but don't want to miss someone who doesn't watch them. So does anyone have any leads on new (unlikely) or used (probably), either length? I find myself with more boats than sticks, and the only way, it seems, to get another stick is to buy another boat that has one, but even doing it that way it'll be impossible to catch up. I don't want to keep moving the sticks I have from boat to boat.
  
  Help!
