Pete, I am in lockdown like most os america. Lost my job, company etc. nothing special there. The #4 project is on hold, I did see some candidates at Bacon Sails. I have enjoyed using my new electric outboard lately. doesn't solve all the issues of the outboard but most. Love having remote throttle in the cockpit, reverse etc. Docking made easy. Bill

:: Hi Bill,
::
:: How is that cheap Asian sail order going these days?
::
:: Pete
::
:: :: Hello from DIANNE #0, anyone in Pt Richmond area have
:: :: such an Etchells blade? Let me know.
:: ::
:: :: :: Thanks for responding, I was quoted about the same for a
:: :: :: new #4 asian sail.
:: ::
:: :: :: Bill
:: :: ::
:: :: :: :: I may be able to help you on this. I used to sail an E22
:: :: :: :: and held on to a bunch of good, older sails. This hank
:: :: :: :: on blade is about 10% smaller than our #3's. I have used
:: :: :: :: one on my Express and it fits without any type of
:: :: :: :: re-cutting.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: If you know someone who owns an Etchells you can
:: :: :: :: probably cut a deal or borrow one to test. I would sell
:: :: :: :: you one of mine for $275 and cover shipping. It has
:: :: :: :: metal hanks and Dacron cloth of about 7 ounce.
:: :: :: ::

:: :: :: :: :: Looking to purchase a dacron #4 to test. Hank on
:: :: :: :: :: preferred but can convert if necessary. Let me know what
:: :: :: :: :: you have and a price.
