Come Wind, Rain, and Snow, Defender's annual warehouse sale starts this afternoon online and will run all weekend at their facility in Waterford, Ct. I'll be there representing my company Novatec Braids (Novabraid Rope) from Yarmouth, NS and there will be a myriad of other factory reps on hand to answer questions and give recommendations on everything from refrigeration to anchor chain to foul weather gear and more. I was told by one of the GM's at Defender that in celebration of their 80th year in business, the normal discount for virtually every item in the store has been increased from 7-10% in past years up to 20% for the sale. Thursday is typically mobbed at the warehouse, but I suspect that the weather is going to keep more than a few folks at home.
Should you be in the area, it is truly worth stopping by if for no other reason than to peruse the clothing selection. I've bought a brand new Henri Lloyd Dry Suit (for dinghy racing) there for $150 when the regular retail was well over $500. Item such a bottom paint, brushes, fenders, electronics, close outs on radios and speakers, and the largest inflatable boat assortment in the country very aggressively priced. Stop by and ask for me in the rope and cut goods area. Would love to talk C&Cs with anyone interested.. Put the SUV in 4WD and bash through the drifts to go shopping for the boat!
