New jib for Ochenta
- Thread starter Ochenta
- Start date
Welcome to the Forum. Lots of good info around here to stir up some ideas.
The "short" answer is YES, I am sure you can get some opinions here.
But first you will need to give a little more info on how you intend to use it - daysailing? racing? on a furler? hanked on? any special needs this jib will fill? that sort of thing.
How much wind do you sail in?
How deep are your pockets?

The new jib is replacing what might have been original with the boat and is serviceable but not competitive.
Looking for a replacement for racing. It will be used in the upper wind ranges when the 150 is too much around 13-15 knots and above.
Every sail maker has an idea of what would be best. What I'm looking for is a strong sail that would be easy to trim. By that I mean would not require a lot of adjustment, for example not a lot of changes in halyard tension or jib cunningham.
