The old line(rope)is weathered and no longer safe for holding any weight, but it looks great & would be perfect for decoration of a bar or yard. We are going to sell it for $20 a coil(obo). All proceeds will be used to continue to refurbish the ship. The coils are about 100 feet (some longer/some shorter) each and are 3/4 to 7/8 inch thick. No shipping, pick up in San Diego only. Thanks.

S sdtikichicken Tiki Centralite San Diego Joined: Apr 02, 2014 Posts: 15	S sdtikichicken Posted posted on Tue, Sep 18, 2018 5:28 PM I think there may be one or two left. We have 2 more masts to down rig, but the project has been put on hold. Right now all work and $$ is going to the Berkley restoration. So, good news, there will be more, bad news, I don't know when. If anyone will be in town, we're sailing the Star of India Nov. 17&18. She doesn't go out often , so def worth checking out if you can. Happy Tiki Tuesday peeps!

See I told you it was here. Now did he sell it all? Man, if I was close by I would have jumped on it.

Now, about the rope... ...due to my real job getting in the way, I am no longer volunteering at the Museum. They are always doing maintenance and it is possible they will have some from time to time. The only thing I can say is contact The Maritime Museum of San Diego, Phone: (619-234-9153), www.sdmaritime.org. You might have a better chance if you go down there.
