I had a slightly larger #1 converted back from hanks several years ago. The sail had been donated to the Navy ROTC then after one use it was determined to be oversized. They paid +-$1,000 to put the hanks on. Top level work, large bronze hanks. I paid $750+- to remove the hanks and put the luff tape back on plus spreader patches and sail numbers.

"Our sail plan is for a Hinckley Bermuda 40 Mark II tall rig. The Main: foot 16'9", Luff 38'6", Leech 42'0". The #1 Genoa: Foot 27'8", Luff 44'0", Leech 44'0". We've been using a lighter weight Reach Drifter which has the about the same dimensions as the #1 Genoa: Reacher Drifter: Foot 29'3", 43'0", Leech 40'8". The Mizzen is newer so that is OK. All our jibs are hanked on since we don't have rolling furling gear." I am thinking that hanked on jib is going to be an issue. I presume they can get a sailmaker to convert a sail from luff tape to hanks - but at what cost? Anyway. Any leads, ideas on how to help these folks upgrade their sails would be greatly appreciated -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT
