In need of a new spinnaker? Who's building the latest proven design? I'd prefer one built by an F18 racer for an F18 racer.

Landenberger

and

Glaser Sails

Both advertise F18 spi's (around $800 USD).

Ashby doesn't have a specific page for F18, but does claim to make sails and has experience on that platform (amongst others).

I have a Glaser sail on my Formula 18 (Tiger) and love it.

When we bought our sails off him Ashby wasn't doing Kites. He was getting them produced through Ullman (I'm not sure if they were designing them or if he was. Our working sails are great though. We got main, Jib and battenes off Gashby for less than the cost of a STX main without battens from Hobie. Having seen both, I prefer ours.

The platform is an '05 Nacra F18.
