TP1 and i just finished recutting a interesting windsurfer sail into a 4m mini sail. It features 3 cammed battens, and the cams have rollers on them so you dont needd mast rotation.
the top is very fine so the mast needs to a neat fit. we didnt have a mast to suit, so ive decided to give the sail away for free.................but you will need to bring a mini and a boom of at least 1800mm as well as a 400cm RDM skinny carbon mast to lake Lefroy to claim your sail. you may have to cut down a 430 or a 460 but thats your problem you will also need some small pulleys to build a multi down haul as the sail will need about 4:1 at least.
first in best dressed, and no i wont freight it as i want to see it sail.
hence you have to bring a yacht

I can turn you a 900mm long taper if that would help Paul?

so could I chook, but you can only give away so many sails before you want to see yacht with the sail on it. if a sail for your yacht isnt enough encouragement , then I dont know what is

Yes I can understand your reasoning.
No point giving away sails that will never see the light of "Day" again. He he.
It's safe from me as I don't have a thin mast handy. Out of interest, what is the diameter of these thin ones anyway? Are they an older style of mast?

Maybe we could do a swap paul. I have a 10m that I will never use and I could sure use a 4m.
Problem is I can not get it to you until october

Cheers

whats really annoying me is that it is monday night , Im booked up for the week, the lakes flooded,there is nothing left to do to the yacht, there are no sails to recut. today i just got in the yacht in the shed and had a little sleep
atthis rate I might have time to read a newspaper
