Goedemorgen, Hello everyone,
My name is Arnaud, from France. I recently start the renovation of a TOP given to me by a retired Dutch couple living in the Médoc region, in France. The boat had been stored for many years in a garage and is therefore in relatively good condition.
Having already made progress on the hull, I’m now looking at the rigging.
Sails are not in pretty good shape and somebody talked me about Zeilmakerij Molenaar. In fact, one sail come from them. I have already take contact with them but as my budget isn't unlimited i would like to know if some of you could have spare sail for sale.
Depending of the price I need grootzeil+genua, spi is optional for me with my budget. That would obviously involve sending it all the way to France.
Also I’d like to know if you have any photos of the rigging: the sheet routes, the halyard system, and so on… I already have the official plans, but it would still be helpful to see how others have set things up.
Last question, I mainly use International painting and anti fouling on this project, so I was actually planning to use their wood varnish as well, but do you have a recommended brand?
Thanks for your time
Arnaud Gallani
