I have two decent 1976 Sea Spray hulls to give anyone who wants one and is fleeing Canada for the Winter  I have a couple of other SP boats that have been on my list to paint and get racing for two years.  Maybe soon.

Sea Spray Parts available

Don <dsn...@eidnet.org>: Jan 30 07:34AM -0800 You can order a new jib sail from North Sails, Vancouver, BC Canada if you like. They have made many Seaspray sails over the last number of years. If Dennis is still working there ask for him as he knows about this boat.   If you want to use the existing jib it sound like it needs a luff wire made which should be about 3- 4 inches longer than the luff of jib. This wire will need loops with thimbles and nicopress holds on each end to serve as attachment for shackles or rope. This wire with thimbles on each end is inserted into the luff sleeve of the jib and the thimble is tied to the head grommet with some nylon string. This upper thimble can be attached to a jib halyard when raising the sail. The lower end of the jib sail luff wire will protrude from the lower luff grommet or tack grommet. This thimble is attached to the bridle wires with a shackle. Sometimes there is a stay adjuster here but this usually isn't necessary. You can add a nylon string on the tack grommet of the jib sail which is used to tie the grommet to the lower luff wire thimble and is used to adjust the luff tension of the jib sail. You can screw on some plastic hanks that have an opening to fit around the jib luff wire that is inside the jib luff sleeve. These hanks can be attached to the forestay as you raise the jib sail. You may only need a couple of these hanks, at least one placed close to the upper luff grommet. Your existing forestay is only necessary to keep the mast up and if you like to use for hanking on the jib.   Don   On Sunday, January 29, 2017 at 8:43:30 AM UTC-7, Ray Volpe wrote:
