Mike Hill old hand Registered: 06/18/01 Posts: 816 Loc: St. Louis, MO,	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. _________________________ Mike Hill N20 #1005

F-18 5150 veteran Registered: 12/12/07 Posts: 1249 Loc: california	All he needs is the 3.45m jib and 19m spin. The boat he is chartering has a nice main on it. _________________________ Rich R.Vilvens@yahoo.com Eureka, Ca F-18 5150 "GETTIN' TACKY" http://www.sailblogs.com/member/f-185150sailing/ http://www.capricornsailing.com/

John Williams Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/19/01 Posts: 3163 Loc: Long Beach, California	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. :-) _________________________ John Williams - The harder you practice, the luckier you get - Gary Player, pro golfer After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
