Deisher,  Sorry I confused you and Gabi there for a bit on who had which boat...

Seems like Dirk just sent the wrong one.  It's probably for a vI. I'm sure he'll exchange it for the right one. 
"Island Time" 1998 Com-pac 19XL # 603

i just order a new jib from Super Sailmakers     http://www.supersailmakers.com/Com-Pac-Sails-C7.aspx

it is on sale for 206 + shiping, not a bad deal,
they list the jib at 110 % but the guy over the phone told me is 40 sq ft, ;somebody put a link on a different thread with the original specs where it said the original jib is 43 sq ft, oh well ...a bit confusing.

they also have a mainsail listed at 284 $ if somebody is looking for a new main

Hey Gabriel:
The old jib is in pretty rough shape.  I could not hold my head up and sell it to a sailor.  At the last of the season i took a good look at it while it was set into the sun...I was surprised that some of the seams had not let go.

I would like to replace it with a slightly larger jib, if I do I would give you the jib for postage.  I will be in touch

regards charlie

Charlie,

I really appreciate your sending me your old jib after Gabriel decided to get a new one.

It is not new but it is MUCH better than the original 1976 rag I have been using.

Thanks again,

Dave

Hey Dave:
You're welcome.  It is an 1989 original jib so it does have 13 or so years to the better of your '76 origional.
I am looking forward to forward to flying our new sails for the second time tomorrow.
Again, glad to help out.
regards charlie
