Hello everyone, hopefully I'll be closing on a 1993 First 310 later this week. Couple of questions: a)I remember reading something along the lines of someone using a used asymetrical spinnaker from a melges 24 and it fitting almost perfectly on the 310. Can anyone confirm. b)The boat I'm purchasing comes with a wheel which I want to change to a tiller. Anyone knows the model/dimensions/specifications that would fit the 310? thanks looking forward to becoming a beneteau owner!

It's hard to imagine it was close..........

A Melges 24 has an "I" measurement of 27.85ft, the Beneteau First 310 is 40.09ft. The Melges is a fractional rig, and the spinnaker probably has a luff around 33ft?
