UPS for a 380

[Bob Knott]

I have a 99 380 and have been contemplating a A-Spinnaker purchase, but just saw your ad in Cruising World for the new UPS sail.Is this sail a good choice for a fractional B&R rigged Hunter that uses small 110 jibs?Since hunter tracks are inboard, how would you lead the jib sheets rearward since the shrouds would be in the way of a larger sail?Also approx. cost for a Hunter 380 for this new sail.thanksBob KnottS/V SerenityH380

UPS Sheet Position

Bob, The UPS would be a great addition to your inventory if you are looking to improve offwind as well as lightair performance. It can be flown from any rig. The sheet is led aft to a block positioned near the cockpit on the rail.You might have to purchase a snatch block for this. From there it goes to a winch. Bly will provide you with a price quotation for your boat.Bill
