[C38] Symetrical Spinnakers & Stuff for Sale

[David Epstein]

Hi Jay,

I agree with Bill, if you are using a jib halyard, that would likely 
be a problem.

For light sheets, we have just used some small line (3/16" or 1/4"), 
and tied a bowline with a very long loop (about 4 feet), so that you 
can tie it on the spinnaker without choking it in before taking the 
heavy sheet off.  You will need to remember to restore the heavy 
sheet before gybing.

I have all of the racing spinnakers off of SuperStar for sale, including:
Elliot Pattison .6 (1/2oz) Spinnaker, symmetrical, with Superman 
logo, fair condition.  New ~$2,900, asking $450
Elliot Pattison? 3/4oz Spinnaker, symmetrical, with Superman logo, 
fair condition. New ~ $2,800, asking $400
North 3/4oz Spinnaker, symmetrical, older style cut, very good 
condition.  Asking $750
1.5oz Spinnaker, symmetrical, fair to good condition.   Asking $400

These are all in bags (turtles), and shipping costs would be added to 
the total price.    Other sails I have for sail include several 
headsails, including two carbon fiber jibs, one of which has seen 
very little use, a jibtop reacher and a fair to good condition 
mainsail.    I also have a bunch of other C38 equipment and parts 
(the family who purchased SuperStar are not racers).   I will try to 
post a list sometime soon...
