Thank you for your advice in your other post. I'll read it some more and I'll answer it soon.
I've been out in the boat taking pictures of the jib. I put ten pictures in an album. Maybe
you could look at them and make some suggestions. It looks pretty bad but maybe it can be
fixed up. The cloth isn't weak and tearing or anything. But you'll see the luff is in pretty
bad shape. You can see where the wire used to be. The eyes and thimbles broke off on the
top and bottom and there's rusty wire stuck in some parts of the luff. It's broken on some
hanks and not broken on others. But there's no way to get it out unless the sail's cut. Maybe
it's ok just to leave it in there.
There's a couple pictures of the sail shape. It doesn't look very flat. But it's drawn
right back to the mast and centered on the mast. The clew that is. It looks more curved
in the pictures than in real life.
