I'm looking at getting a storm jib for my S80 and prices are ranging from $430 to $630 what should I be looking for in each one?
Look in the RRS (blue book) if you want it for Cat 4. I believe it at least says what you cannot make it from.
Given that a storm job is usually packed & stored wet & salty in a locker for extended periods, make sure its made from something of good longevity!
And permanently attached the sheets, and heavily wool it.
Poods ![]()
8oz Orange Dacron, webbed corners, seams triple stitched in zig zag or double stItched in three step.
for the S80 I assume hanks, should have extra reinforcing patches under each or if a luff tape should have an extension above head of 2m or more( not stop at head).
Should be around $450-500!incl GST.
