SV Auntie The inventory of Northern Lights parts available in French Polynesia is smaller than small.) Northern Lights parts come out of Seattle, Washington, but you cannot order direct from them. The quickest (and least expensive) way to get parts sent to French Polynesia from US is to order from Richard at Costal Marine. Costal Marine is right next door to Northern Lights in Seattle, they have a great working relationship, and most parts can be sent same day. Another bonus, Northern Lights - Costal Marine can ship directly to Tahiti (98713) using USPS International Priority which is considerably less expensive than DHL or FedEx, and takes the same amount of time. As usual, from Papeete, Tahiti Crew can pay customs and ship to any other island.
