We bought a nice crispy/crinkly 'new' (second-hand) spinnaker from our favourite old sail-maker who made all our new sails for our last boat "Shazza". This spinnaker is from a 12ft skiff and has had very little use and is still nice and crispy.
The new spinnaker is slightly bigger than our old pink/green kite and will be it's replacement. The pink kite will be retired (not thrown out or given away as it's too far gone to give to someone else and has too much nostalgic value for us to throw out).
The pink kite was measured by our friend Jon to be 27sqm so I would say our new kite would be just on 30 sqm approximately, so it fits the bill nicely. The new kite will be used for when the breeze gets up and for casual sails days when we don't feel the need to go as fast as possible.
Next is to get a new #2 spinnaker (approximately 45sqm) which I have already lined up to buy after Christmas. Similar deal with that one, it's a near new crispy/crinkly 12ft skiff spinnaker that will replace the rag we currently have.
