Set of sails for a YM Senior
Posted: Fri January 29th, 2021, 6:02 pm
Hello Everyone,
So I had a great time last year learning to sail my newly bough YM senior MIKROS from 1967.
In the meantime I got in touch with Geoffrey Hyde Fynn, who is the original owner and son of the builder, and have learned much from him regarding rigging and maintenance. One thing he told me is that I should look into replacing the sails.
Does anyone have a set of bermudan rig sails for a YM senior in good condition and not in use?
Or does anyone know a sailmaker that wont break the bank? How much would they cost more or less?
I would love to make them myself, but I am just concerned I might make a mess...
I'm in London and Mikros is in the river Medway in Gillingham.
Kind regards,
Joao
