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.

:: :: :: Thanks for responding, I was quoted about the same for a

:: :: :: :: 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.
