Online sources for rigging

Being from Minnesota sailing shops are rather scarce. I have a West Marine but they do not carry much for sailing.

Where does everyone buy their gear from. I came across Mauri Pro Sailing and they seem to have a good selection and prices, has anyone ever ordered from them?

I always use Defender for my boat supplies. They are always helpful, friendly and I never feel like I'm getting ripped off. I gave up on Worst (West) marine many years ago when outfitting a much larger boat. It seemed like whenever I had to buy items from them I had a huge bill and I had a pain in my posterior end.

I also vouch for Defender.com, and for sails, sailrite.com You can't go wrong with those two websites
