Bill - I have a spinnaker I want to sell - what luff length are you looking for? I haven't measured the one I've got but it can't be a long way off the size that you need.
Don, It came off a Janneau (symphonie I think). Maybe there's a different number on his main! It will only be used for ghosting - everyone needs a bit of excitement in life...
Nick, was thinking about it, but we only carry 4 buckets and I guessed it would need more to stop, so crapped out (NOT)
Pete I just got it! How many spinnakers a month can a man be expected to buy? However if the price is right and I can find a home for the big chap...
I think Geoff got a smallish one recently maybe he'd like a swap.
So far we've done next to nothing this year so it's all a bit academic really.

'Sno the stern I'm worried about! But I recon if I was really enterprising I could pull the snuffer down (and up) from the wheelhouse using the anchor windlass, so that's everything sorted then.

I kept my old one (repaired), and now have two. One for light winds, and call the small one our "storm spinnaker" works well in higher winds, but spinnaker in F6 or more really is "exciting".

Our shipman28 came with two spinnakers, and like Geoff's, one must have been designated as a 'storm'. Not by me, but by the previous owners judging by the state of it.
All the seams were the original lengths, but the material between had lost it's shape - we're talking a cross between a buttoned cushion and a burst mattress - I never used it... The big one was a real pleasure, but I can't locate the prizewinning picture -typical.
If Sahona's is too much of a wrestle and no-one wants to swap their smaller one, I'll investigate removing a couple of panels.
I see the weather is finally turning in our favour. I should be out honing my handling skills but we've got a VIP visitor coming to stay for a while so it will be land-based frolicks -no doubt until the weather turns bad again.

I'm sure you'd get rid of that one and be able to buy Pete's and not be out of pocket anyway red, white and blue is all the wrong colour for a claymore should it not be more along the lines of battleship grey?
