Ron, Lisa, Glad you are getting to enjoy the boat! I have her twin on South River, and there is another in Selby as well.
Double check the weight of the chute. They are usually .5 or .75 ounce. My heavy chute is 1.5. There are lots of used symmetrical chutes out there. Asyms are harder to find. Try L-36.com and click on used sail finder. It will check inventory of all the major sail suppliers. I found mine on Craigslist. Hope to see you on the Bay!
