one option to consider might be to get the sails delivered to Mumbles for the GC and then take them back in the container "used" | <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

They buy a set locally for "learning" and then get a get of landy's when you've fell in a few times and landed on the mainsail a few times.

Not harsh, but a good way to "justify" to the budget holder (if you have one) that 2 mainsails make sense....
It's worked with me when I need a new kite about the last 10 times.....
"Darling, No, I don't think I need a new kite for the winter/spring/summer/autumn*, A new dry suit (Musto MPX arrived today) is a must, but a new Spi can wait until the spring" <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
