I have a mainsail, 120% genoa, 150% genoa, storm trisail and storm jib for sale. All were taken from my Pearson Ariel #292.  Please send me your email address and I will send you photos. I just sold my cruising asymmetrical spinnaker that was in "like new" condition. Thanks, Jim,  908 879-8268.

Thanks. I have 3-4 people interested in the spinnaker so I think it will sell. FYI, I also have the mainsail, storm jib, storm trisail, 120% genoa and 150% genoa all off my Pearson Ariel in case you are interested.

Have you made any decisions regarding my cruising spinnaker? I have several parties interested in it and would to sell it ASAP,  Thanks, Jim

Check out this link. It shows how to rig a cruising spinnaker if you have rolling furling.

The cruising spinnaker has 4 lines attached to it: 1)the halyard, 2) a tack control line which allows the foot of the spinnaker slide up or down the forestay to control shape, and 3) & 4) a port and starboard control sheet attached to the clew. On my Ariel, I ran the headsail halyard back to a winch on the cabin top so I could raise and lower the spinnaker single-handed. I ran the control sheets through a turning block on a track aft of the primary winch. No poles.

Both of these sails are still available. I also have a storm trisail, 120% genoa and 150% genoa, all were from my Pearson Ariel. The asymmetric spinnaker and trisail are in excellent condition. I will offer a significant discount for a package deal. We're getting ready to move so the sails have to go, thanks.

FOR SALE: barely used cruising "pole-less" cruising spinnaker and a barely used storm jib both from 1965 Pearson Ariel. Asking $325 for cruising spinnaker and $150 for storm jib.
