Support for TRADITIONAL Van Dusen Shells
Our previous production model was the TRADITIONAL. Please email us with any TRADITIONAL support questions and include photos and hull ID, if possible. We have various parts readily available, such as Traditional stretcher fittings and decking kits (see our online parts store). We can custom make any parts that are not in stock. We also offer repairs for your Traditional Van Dusen shells. Note that at this time we are not making replacement carbon tube riggers but we may do so again at a future date (please inquire). Alternatively, you may find used riggers on row2k and other online platforms.
