No worries Gary, I only thought I'd mention it because a friend of mine was looking to buy a Spit but when they looked into the costs of new bits he thought they were rather expensive but I don't know where he got his information from. Like wise may be I should clarify that I have had my main re-cut (flattened) and have also ordered a new Spi from GP Sails which will be of a similar shape to the Spit as Grant has had some experience making Spit Spi's.
P.S You and the Spit Travellers are more than welcome to join us at Mumbles for one of our Opens, I sent Alex an email weeks ago but haven't heard anything since.
