I am hoping to be going through your neck of the woods at some point in the next few weeks. ( no idea exactly when) Got to have a look at a few ole boats up the East coast.... and return a mainsail that was very kindly lent to me for last season. perhaps i could drop in and see what the jib you have is like?
