You would definately do better buying a second hand 14 jib. I can see loads
on the 14 website, varying in price/condition/size from £25 to £160.

So what you're saying is that the Spice would be a wonderful boat if only it had a different rig and different hull? All I can say to that is "Have a really good look at the foils and you might change your mind..." [grin]

No doubt it is a crappy boat but it is still quite fun to sail.
