We picked up another batch of sails today from balcatta

1-niel pryde "world cup wave"
all battens are good,
area- 5.4m
luff- 4.75m
boom- 1.8m

2-niel pryde "warp speed 7"
no battens,
area- 7m
luff- 5.05m
boom- 2.2m

3-niel pryde "ultra nova 4.4"
all battens are good,
area- 4.4m
luff- 4.2m approx.
boom- 2m approx.

4-niel pryde (a bit tatty and has a repair below the foot batten)
no battens,
area-6m approx
luff-5.4m approx
boom 2 m approx

all were a bit grubby but I swept the garden rubbish and bugs off them and 3 of them look pretty good to me, and sail no.4 is probably able to be cannibalised for sail repairs.

all 4 are yours to play with- when are you in perth next?

If you are not in perth for a while- we might be able to bring them to Kal as luggage in a couple of weeks, but that depends on how much qantas allow us to carry.
I guess they will fold/roll up fairly compact for baggage if I take the battens out- and you could pick up the battens some other time?

the length of the battens are (sail no.1)bottom-108cm, 172cm, 137cm, top-93cm,
(sail no.3)bottom-148cm, 126cm, 90cm, top-56cm,

no worries Paul- we will bring the 4.4 with us,

Do you have any hints on how to pack the sail so that the qantas baggage handlers dont wreck it?

I could stuff it into a rifle case- but that might create more problems than it solves
