1) I sit at a computer all day long.
2) Google and Wikipedia can make anybody look smart

Google "Thunder Bay plastics" and you get Intercity Industrial Supply.

I wasn't nearly this smart before the Internet.

The smartest man in the world doesn't know all the answers....

but he DOES know who to ask and where to look.

Congrats Matt on being one of the smartest men I know.

Mike if you can wait ship it to me, and I'll just give it to you next month at the regatta. I've also still got that H16 cover if you want that too.

For the short term, how about cutting your own from a plastic milk jug?

Check the chamber of commerce for Lake City, there is I think 3 hotels in town, if they're booked up too Red Wing is 15 min up the road.

These folks are in Toronto and sell all sorts of parts for the laser
http://www.foghmarine.com/index.asp
I have bought Hobie parts from them and they ship anywhere in Canada.
I think the part you want is 90-26 Base Plug Kit Blue $9.25

If you want a sheet of low friction plastic I think Lee Valley Tools http://www.leevalley.com/
sells it and it called high (or is it low) molecular weight plastic. They also ship all over the country (Canada)
