Tyler, My 17, #258 is about to get a new 80% jib I am putting together from a Sailrite kit. I bought their machine last year and have had a lot of fun making covers and such for my 17. I am ready to tackle a sail. Judy made me a new mainsail last year, cannot highly recommend her, actually she sends the order over to Taiwan or Korea or some such place. Anyway, use a domestic maker, that way if you want to alter something you won't have to wait for a month or so to have it done. By the time you get through messing around with your sail which as old as it is is probably very weak anyway, you would be better served with a new one and put all your bucks towards that end. Good luck, Tom B, "AS-IS On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 5:39 PM, Tyler Heerwagen via montgomery_boats < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
Headsail is dying, coming apart, forestay is bent and kinked.Thinking about getting a new headsail, ideally furling, maybe suited for single-handing, since that is my normal mode.Has anyone tried a headsail with a shorter J and or LP dimension, including maybe a higher Clew?Any recommendations?Thanks,Tyler H.M17 Seranita1977 #232
