As you say, Calvert know what he does, as does your olympic silver medalist on the Tornado, Charlie Ogletree (Ullman) do. Jay Glaser http://www.glasersails.com/ should be a safe buy as well.



In Europe there are several good lofts, but the 'hottest' just now are Landenberger, Gran Segel and Ullman Sicily.

I think the swedes at Gran Segel still have the edge when it comes to fast spi's for the Tornado, but they do custom jobs as well. As we are moving into the cold non-sailing season here in scandinavia now, you can probably get a discount on their normal prices.


Sorry, but I dont know about any class spi's who might fit your boat. But the large spi's sheeted to the aft-beam are mostly history now i think. The short-footed spis have proven faster, at least that's the trend.
