That's a hell of a bend in the mast you have there!

Getting the standing rigging to suit was a tad tricky.
wonderfull how many pixels modern digital cameras deal with...
How fast they process the image might be important too!

Er- what sort of a jib? any idea of dimensions?
Lovely to see another smack out on the water again. You'll have to bring her up the East Coast to visit all her relatives!

Transcur.
Jib sounds like a good possability.
Let me know the dims when you get time.
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?
Thanks
Russell
