My recently purchased mod 2 needs a new jib, and I'm looking to stay with roller-furling. If doing so won't cost me a fortune, I'd like to get another colored sail, 'cause let's face it, they' re pretty.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a choice of loft for an inexpensive all-purpose sail that would meet this purpose?
The main is also original to the boat (1990). It's a bit stretched and has blown out one batten pocket but still seems useable. I'd like to be able to reef the main, so I'm contemplating either having reef-points put in the existing sail or biting the bullet and ordering a new main with the reef-points sewn in at time of manufacture.
What is a sensible price for having a set of reef-points added to the existing sail? Any thoughts from experienced folks on whether it's worth investing in a modification to a sail this old?
Thanks for your wisdom,
Gordon
