I'm looking at a fully battened main for my hunter horizon 26. Which I want to price up at the London boat show.
I have done a bit of searching on here as well as the hunter forums, yet I still have a few questions.
Will I have to purchase a stackpak? I'm not very keen on them. At the moment I have lazy jacks and flake the main.
If I understand right I can get the new sail fitted with sail slides with a sort of wheeled cart that takes the pressure of the batten. So as I understand I don't need a mast track I can just use the original groove up the mast which the current sail slides fit into.
I'm planning on kemp or Hyde sails. What sort of price am I looking at? other horizon 26 owners have paid from £700 for a cruising fully battened main to £1000 for a performance cruising sail. But that was a few years ago.
Advice would be very much appreciated thanks.
