Hi all,
I am in the process of installing a selftacker on my Taipan 4.9 and was wondering if anyone had a Jib for sale that might work.
Also if anyone had one made would they still have the measurements used.
Thanks
Aidan

Where are you located Aidan. I have a jib from the Blade that I have never used. Ed

Make sure the distance from the front hull tangs to the main beam are the same between the two boats-

Also, the blade jib tacks to the spin pole, not to the bridle forestay connection.

I was planning on installing a compression post between the bridle connection and spin pole and doing the same on the taipan but thanks for the info
