I think that jib is original to the boat - it's wasted. I bought that main and kite last year. 880 is the number Frank and I have carried two Nacra 20's ago and it was available in the US sequence so we changed it on this boat. It kept us from having to change all our embroidered and sublimated team gear. I'm not sure what the original number was (i'll have to look). The main could probably go a little longer but it's comforting knowing I have a solid set of backup sails...and I need a white main and jib for my color scheme.

I haven't decided if we're making NA's this year or not. I'll have the decision made this week (hopefully prior to the late registration fee).

I was just thinking about doing that in the back window of my WRX for some company advertising. There hardly a flat surface on that car to put vinyl.

Can you find templates to cut the stuff to size so I'd just have to put it on? Or would you just make it big and I'd have to cut it to size?

I need to send the car somewhere to get the windows tinted soon, riding around in a fishbowl is getting old. I'd assume tint and the perforated stuff would not be a good plan?

Tint goes on the inside and Perf film on the outside so there is no problem having both. I'll be glad to make you something. the perf film is cut larger than the window and trimmed to fit and to do it right, the film is laminated to smooth out and cover all the little holes that will trap dirt and water and lead to failure of the film. If you can give me dimensions and take a photo of the window as centered and perpandicular to the window as possible, we can get pretty accurate with it. I'm also getting ready to spend a big nickle on dimensional template files for a kagillion cars so I may have your detailed window shape shortly.

How's it hold up to a wiper?

It holds up OK. It doesn't help it but you can still expect it to last a couple of years. The perf films are the weakest part of wraps - most companies will guarantee a wrap for 3 years but perf films for 1.5. The lamination on it helps too.

I don't know what your logo looks like, but a premium material vinyl decal may be a better way to go.
