Hi everyone I planning to set sail from Sydney next week
I purchased a new headsail so now I don't want to carry my old old genoa and number 3
Both sails are old and worn and I was only taking them in case all my other sails were totalled
The dimensions are
Genoa 150%
Luff 12.19
Leach 11.95
Foot 6.27
Number 3 has a foot length of around 4 metres
Same luff
Hopefully someone in the Sydney area will want them otherwise I will throw them out

I'd like them if they can be used on mine. I can get someone to pick them up for me.

Andy, I have a Brolga 33 with very similar rig dimensions.

I could do with the no 3. Mine has done its dash.

Give them to Ringle if you wish Andy. I think they will fit his boat better than my Tartan 37.

Wishing you well on your voyage. So excited for you.

Yes, very good to hear you're getting on your way before December Andy, probably with some good improvements (and wallet pain) subsequent to your Brs to Syd shakedown.

Any chance you could say something about the sort of timing you are aiming for going past Cape Horn, given that the Lows in winter months are probably deeper than in summer? Of course, if you prefer to keep planning that far out confidential it will be well understood.
