I lost my '79 Irwin Citation 30 (Pain Perdu) to Hurricane Katrina. Prior to Katrina my partner and I had the bottom redone (blisters and all), a new head, a new bimini and the sails reconditioned. The storm completely cleared the marina of boats and swept them into the adjacent parking lot - well all but a handful. Pain Perdu was still afloat and we were even able to crank her up and move her back to her berth. Unfortunately negotiations didn't go too well with the insurance adjuster and we were basically forced to cash out. That said, I am now in possession of the storm jib (80%?) and a brand new bimini (with the old frame, but not the tracks nor the dodger). as much as it pains me to do so, I would be willing to sell either or bboth of these items for a reasonable price. The jib is original, but still has some shape to it, and as I mentioned above had just had the sail cover (roller furling) replaced, and as for the bimini, one look at the clear plastic window shows that it is brand new ($370 with boot).

What is the measurement of the width of the bimini frame, from attachment point to attachment point? Foot and Leech measurement on the sail? Larry Wilson (Radicalcy (at) Yahoo.com

Measurements...
I'll have to get back to you with this. My brother-in-law (Craig) has the bimini and frame, and I have the jib. I'll call Craig and get the dimensions of the bimini from him, and I'll take some time this weekend to open up the sail (it's currently in the sail bag) and take some measurements (and photos too, if you like).
