First post - very scary ;-)
I've decided to treat my father to a self-tacking jib on his Hanse 331 for Christmas. I'm sure this will go down a treat with my mother as well!
Any ideas how I go about this - done plenty of sailing on other people's boats but never been right at the sharp-end before.
Can these things be bought 'off the shelf' from the orginal dealer, or is it better/cheaper to have a sail made up by going direct to a sail maker?
Also - perhaps someone could give me a ball-park figure!
I'm based in Amsterdam/UK, boat is in Plymouth, father is in Bristol.
thanks in advance,
Ian
