Title: Cotton Sails
Post by: mack2 on 14 Jul 2007, 09:49

Hello All,

Hope someone can help with some information or advice? I have a vintage N12 and in a canvas bag the original 1948 Cotton Sails!! Unfortunately the Jib has some damage.

I do have some newer sails however it would be lovely to see her on the water with the original rig!

So my problem is who to approach for a repair?

Thanks

Mack

I agrre with Mike Day that Kevan Bloor at Alverbank Sails is a good person to try. However he will pobably say that the luff wire is a problem because it would have been made of galvanised wire which has corroded away over the years. Replacement of the wire might be an expensive job.
