Hi, I thinking of buying a used Tushingham Series 7r sail. I dont know how many cams it has, but it has 7 battens. Area = 6.9sqm, Luff = 4.92, Boom = 2.06. I also dont know its age but I suspect it is from around 2007 / 2008.

Question - Does anyone have any expereince with this sail and know if it has a ridged or floppy leach and how modern the design was / is?
Cheers..

6.9 with a luff that long will probably be more like 10yrs older than that (late 90's - 2000ish)



If so it is not worth very much. Useable, but not anything like modern sail's stability
