[C38] Jib Wanted

[Daniel Seigenthaler]

Have an old Dacron #3 (110) with a Gemini luff tape you can have for $200 plus shipping.  It's 12-15 years old and hasn't been used in a decade, but saw moderate use at some point and has some leech fraying. Probably isn't a sail I would invest in covering with uv  fabric, but would suggest just replacing the luff and shorten the foot (~$200) while saving up for that new pretty $2.5K #2 with the really nice sunbrella cover.
