Spinaker top tip!

[touchandgo]

If you are looking for a new spinaker, first try a secondhand J-boats 22 spinaker!

The second-hand spinaker I bought was from a J22.

there are a lot of positive points to do this;
- it is bigger than a normal (dehler 22) spi (37m2)
- verry cheap!!!! mine was 90 euro's!!
- fits perfect on a 22 and 25
- it is not nassasary to keep it in one piece, when its broken you buy another one!! (again +/- 90 euro's)

I bought the spi for some small regatta's, and having fun on a windy day!
Last summerholiday I saw 10 knots on my GPS!! (the log confirmed it with 10.2 knt)
The wind was a little to strong for set up a spi, but the price of the spi was so low I don't care if it blow up.
However, it is still in one piece after af few litle repairs!

Hallo Mark,

kannst du mir mal den Link von der J 22 Seite zusenden, auf der für so wenig Geld so tolle Spis verkauft werden ?

Viele Grüsse

Hallo Uli,

Professional J-22 sailors have a lot of sails for their J22, though they put it not for sale on the internet.
I put the question for buying a spinnaker on the Dutch J22 forum, some people react on that topic.

Maby you can try the same at the German J22 forum?

A friend of my have a good one for € 75!! and mine was € 90, so its worth to try <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="
