Hi,
Have not been on the forum in a long time. Have been doing other things such as helping out at a Community boat building project with students from two locall high schools, Also, assisting a local high school student with her senior project building a snow board.

I bought my sails through Ullman sails. I believe I payed in the range of 3500.00 dollars.

As far as the paint on the SB18. I used water based polyurethane from Systems Three. It is very difficult for an amature to use and I had a lot of trouble. At first I use a roller, then I tried to spay it and finally talk to a professional. He thought that the only way I was going to be able to appy this material was to get the best brush I could fine and thin it out buy 20% with water. It was difficult to keep a wet edge at all times. It came out fairly acceptable, but I was not overly happy with it. I believe I should have used varnish. At least I do not have to refinish it very year or two.

Will try to stay up with the forum in the coming months!
