I realise you are the experts... I need your help.. I want to add a spinnaker and self tacking jib to a Taipan.. AHPC charge AUD $1,874 for a spinnaker kit.. ie pole, fittings and sail.. a self tacking jib + track mounts, cleats etc costs $977. That’s a hefty AUD $2851 to upgrade. Is this reasonable? or do you think I could get a better deal else where.. if so from whom.. many thanks .. congrats to all this site is a valuable source of knowledge.. thanks


You could do it in stages. The self tacker is nice and makes gybing very fast but not strictly necessary.

If you had one to copy off, i'm sure you could save a few dollars however the AHPC snuffer/bag setup seems to work very well, as do their spi's.
