Oh no! How did you lose the boat? Is there a lesson for us?

If you still have it, I would take the main sail.

Remember guys the mainsail will only fit a 26M as it has a 30ft mast the rest of u guys only have 25ft to 28ft masts !

so kinda silly asking for something that doe's not fit ur boat without major mods like a 26M mast , also remember the 26M came with 40" & 44" spreaders I believe so u,d need to ask which size they r .

I know of a guy who lost his 26M in Ontario due to a very large tree coming down on top of it & totally crushed & destroyed it Rocky bought the rudders of the it I believe & it was a 2012 sadly

Wow, thanks for setting me straight on that. Silly me. I thought they were the same across models.

To the OP - never mind, but thanks all the same. Again, my condolences on the loss of your boat.

Any idea if the jib will fit a 26x?

Also any chance you have cushion covers remaining ? Don’t need the foam but would solve to get my hands on some cushion covers

Hurricane Sally was suppose to be a “rain event” when models changed the boat landings were flooded and closed. Stripped the boat, secured on dock, but in the end boat and dock destroyed. Sails, boom, etc have been in dry storage. Time to move on and empty storage.
By the way, Broken Promise is for the promise I made not to buy another boat.

I would gladly pay for shipping. I also have a business partner in Mobile. Perhaps he would come pick them up.
