Does anybody have a set of small hobie tiger sails (Jib/spin)??

I am doing f18 worlds with Joseph bello and we only weigh in at 275 lbs, we are a youth team and really need the help!

Thanks.

Just bring some scissors and cut 6" off the leech of your rental. That should do it.

I have a set of small Infusion sails, in excellent condition, that I would let you use for free. (Glad to help out a youth team). They could go out/back with the sailors from Wisconsin, or you could return them to me at the F16 NAs in November.

Remember that a tiger has a completely different way to hook the mast at the top. Not sure about other complications of using Infusion sails. Just want you to be aware they won't just run up and work.

Quite a stiffer mast of the Tiger compared to the Infusion. Cut of the sail will be definately different.

The small sail plan is a smaller jib and spin the main is the same.

All he needs is the 3.45m jib and 19m spin. The boat he is chartering has a nice main on it.

Tyler - got your text. I think you'll be able to work with the Nacra sails. My advice is to take advantage of this incredibly generous offer, and we'll see you in a couple of weeks. 🙂

That's probably the smartest thing to do.
