Whilst continuing in this vein make sure you check out the prices for new sails/parts for the spit and shadow. You might think twice about buying one compared to F16's where there is more competition especially in the sails market. I think I heard that a new Spi for a spit is around the £800 mark where a Landy for a F16 is closer £600 and GP Sails Spi's are slightly cheaper again at present!!
Naaaaah thats tosh, about £600 inc Vat, bought one recently.
How much did it cost you to have yours altered?
I recall you have made it flatter like a Spit!!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
