Victor took his storm jib to Brenda's house and Brenda is satisfied that she will be able to fit it in her luggage for her flight to La Paz.
As you can see from the photos (with Victor demonstrating) it is a beautiful and well built little sail in new condition. It is on the small side at 30 sq ft but I figure that that is just about what I would need hanked on the inner forestay when either hove to or trying to sail in very heavy weather. It would be used in combination with the storm trysail behind the mast.
I tried to persuade Brenda to take my 390 kg (860 lb) SABB engine back to Australia with her for Victor's boat Chiquita but for some reason she objected, even though I offered to pay for the excess luggage. I'm still
working on it.
Victor is being very helpful. That engine seems heavy!
