Parker 404

we used to sail off py 1050 with the full sails and was about right.

the smaller main is crap i dont think i ever used mine.

and the large main was very high aspect

try a lark sails but it was also lose footed and taller.

somthing off a laser 3000 may fit or try a hobie 405

just try some. but if not if u ring parkers then they will put you intouch with the people that have the sail infomation as i had a new jib made.

I've just spent a pleasant hour or so rooting through my folders of extracts from old Y&Y's, and I haven't found it. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if the single article I had in mind really existed, or whether i've amalgamated different articles in my head.

What I did find, on the back of another article I'd saved, was a page of photos of the some of the boats, "Parker's superb-looking 404" included,  under trial - capsized! That was page 59 in the 3rd January 1992 issue, but whether it was part of a full article or rather, as I suspect, merely part of one of Jonathan Clark's superb columns, I can't say. I suspect there had been an earlier article on the various designs and this was merely a few shots/comments on the trials. Maybe someone at Y&Y could look up the issue and tell you?
