What size boat?
Do you mean, mainsail and stackpack?
Do you mean just the stack?
With/without lazyjacks?
Our stackpack was about £500 including battens just for the packing system. I seem to remember it was priced on length of the boom. Existing lazyjacks reused.
Its also one of the best things we've ever bought for the boat.
39 foot boat.

That seems to fit - I think mine was around £350 for a 30ft boat - used existing lazyjacks

about right then. Arun sails, for the Elizabethan 30, about 330 plus vat, seems to be a good idea if short handed and probably minimal impact on performance?

If you can wait for SIBS then you can negotiate a better price. I went round all the sailmakers last year getting quotes with special "show discount".
Asked all the sales people what were the special features of their stackpack and got "about the same as everyone else's" from most companies. The prices for a 33 foot Westerly Storm were £400 +/- £30 - stackpak and jackstays.
I went with Quay Sails in the end because their product had some better features that the others and the price was competitive. They were very helpful about answering my rigging questions when I went to pick the system up.
PM me if you want more details - I live locally to you.

Arun sails did a "No VAT" offer at LIBS in 2005 - best thing we ever bought!
