Black Friday Deals?

[s/v Beth]

After fighting it on which should I say "Mayday" or"Pan Pan", I thought I should get a well needed rest and shop the Black Friday sales. But then it occurred to me- I have never seen a sailing shop have black friday deals. Anyone know of any? Online is fine, just cheaper stuff would be nice

I've found after Christmas through early Spring to be the better season to get deep discounts on boat stuff. There are a couple of bright spots.

West Marine will have the Garmin 741xs for $899 which is a great deal considering people were saying $1099 was a really good price a few months ago and it's only early-middle of what has been the typical Garmin product lifecycle.

As mentioned in another thread, Milltech Marine has the Vesper XB-8000 and a few other AIS units deeply discounted all week.

Those are probably the two best deals I've found so far although I probably won't jump on either, as tempting as they are.

I'm hoping Sailrite shows us a little love this holiday season as I need to replace all the zippers in my bimini and make tabs for mounting flexible solar panels. The little bits and pieces add up. I might go in for a hot knife too if the price was right.

I got one of their hot knives (Sailrite) on sale. Very impressed with it so far. Good tool that I use all over.

West Marine is having 15% off on Thanksgiving. If I can, I'll stop by for some stuff I was planning to buy anyway.
