[net.rec.boat] Spring sailing, fitting out

jfh@browngr.UUCP (John F. Hughes) (03/13/85)

    It's getting warm in Providence, too. I've had the itch for a couple of
weeks now, and I'm trying to decide how to spend spring break (march 23-30).
Will it be warm enough on the outer banks (NC) to windsurf with a wetsuit?
Or do I have to go all the way to Fla., where there won't be as much wind?

    Also, I'm looking for a port hull for a Tornado catamaran. I need one made
by anyone except Zygal (any tornado sailors out there? Ever seen a zygal
hull collapse?). If you have a spare that you want to sell, let me know.

    (Normally I wouldn't post this to the net, but I'm willing to go a long
way to get one (anywhere on the east coast, for example).)

PS Any recommendations on sailmakers in the Providence/Newport RI area that
could make me a Tornado jib without making the world's best? I don't want
it for racing, I want it a little heavier so that it'll last more than a
season...

Talk to Peter Mahr at North Sails.  Say you were recommended by
Dan Philen and Paul Gagen.
