Hi,

I've sailed Tornado all my 38 years of age...my Dad used to run the factory in Montreal in the 1970's. I've only ever sailed older boats, even back then! Right now I have an 82 SailCraft of Canada boat with 1971 sails! Actually I just got a set of nearly new sails, but they are cut for the prebend rig. I need to change the diamond hounds & spreader arms over the to modern setup in order to prebend my mast.

Don't let the nasayer's put you off...I'm a living example of tornado ownership on the cheap! Just avoid going to Marstorm for any parts, do your own repairs and a little fabricating here & there and you'll be fine.

Mike
