A none kow the status of Owen Mills?

We cruise the Med nine months of the year, returning to the US for the holidays and winter. While in the US, I typically buy boat bits that are difficult to find for our boat overseas. One of the items I was going to buy this year was a new Life Sling bag. I had seen these over the summer on the Owen Mills website and was waiting until I got back in the States to order it.

I recently tried to place my order and was not able to find the Owen Mills website. It appears that it has not been renewed and is no longer in service. I haven't had any luck finding any information about the company.

Does anyone know if they are still in business, and how I may contact them? Thanks!

Steve

Their web site does seem to be down. Could be they forgot to update it at the new year or they could be gone.

I did find a phone number in the cached version of the website. Maybe give a call to see if that works. (818) 781-6891

Thanks, Skipmac. I'll give them a call. Appreciate the help!


Edit - just tried the number and no joy. Perhaps they are out of business. Anyone got any leads on what happened or who may have bought them? Thanks!

I have seen lots of other sources for new Lifesling bags. Westmarine sells original replacement bags. EBay has lots of aftermarket bags made from Sunbrella, pick your favorite color.
