SHIPPING:
shipping large formula gear is expensive. i'd very much prefer to sell the big stuff locally, and i'd be willing to drive as far as Boston or Montreal for a small delivery fee (definitely less than the cost of shipping). if i can't sell locally i'll consider shipping to USA or Canada only, but buyer will pay all shipping costs, including the cost of packaging material for the big stuff. please contact me to arrange details if you're interested. the extension of course can be easily shipped, and the buyer will pay actual shipping costs only.

close-ups of the sail's monofilm.

small monofilm deformations below 4th batten from bottom
smudges in luff-sleeve
monofilm deformations and scratches below 3rd batten from bottom. note that this is zoomed way in, and the deformations and scratches appear worse than they are. also note that the major line perpendicular to the battens across the entire width of the photo (in bottom half of photo) is not a scratch but is the edge of a monofilm reinforcement panel that's an integral part of the sail as provided from Sailworks.
parts that go with the sail.
the boom.
the boom front-end. this is identical to the renowned Streamlined front-end, but is installed by HPL as a factory standard, and fits the HPL boom perfectly (no messing with shims needed).
the Chinook adjustable outhaul, installed by me.
the mast.
the mast details, showing areas of some visible wear (purely cosmetic). note that the line in the 2nd photo is just metallic marker to give me a reference for boom height.
the extension.
the extension while rigged, showing the downhaul lacing method that i've found to work best. provides 7-to-1 purchase. note that when using this method, the downhaul line stays with the sail when de-rigged, not with the extension.
