Mark,
How much is a spinnaker going to cost for the corporate entrants?
Are you going to require all 12 to be made by the same loft? Do you know what loft you are going to use?
And at the end of the season, does the corporate sponsor of the spinnaker get the spinnaker back, or does the owner of the Ultimate 20 that it was used on get to keep the spinnaker -- part of the payback for use of his boat?
Or do you keep the spinnakers for use in the next regatta?
All great questions here Mary, I would love to pull out that page for you on it, and post those numbers on costs for you, but I do not currently have this information on hand, I am still awaiting these costs.
I will however answer as much on this as I can excluding those amounts.
The sails all have to follow the class rules and specifications, for this someone else specific to this will handle when that time comes. They will all be ordered from the same place.
The sponsor does not get the sail, they are stored for future events.
part of the payback for use of his boat? I cannot go into these details on this, I will when I can. I know inquiry minds wish to know, and I know I am opening myself here up to attack. But its facts you want, and fact that I wish to give. Allow me that time to attain these facts.
