trial spinnaker

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   With Viola 166 back on the water, I'm now looking at rig and sails.  I purchased the boat with old sails, and the kites I have are all sized for a shorter pole as the previous owners worked on reducing the boat's PHRF rating.  I have both the class pole and the PHRF pole. I would like to try a class spinnaker to get an idea if it is a better kite to fly in our conditions and take the penalty on the rating.  Does anyone have an old kite that they would like to sell and ship so that I could try this?  Thanks!

	Frank, We have all sorts of fast sails available. Used, well used... almost new, and of course new. From the same loft thats been doing the best L28 sails since the beginning. Our sails have won all the one-design events in the L28 class for many years now. Give us a call if we can be of assistance. You can speak with Denise or myself. cheers Edited by Bill Layton - 03 November 2009 at 7:30pm
