Spinnaker net
Spinnaker sock
Trysail (the dark little triangle)

We got lucky as we might be able to use the spinnaker net and trysail (and maybe sock, I can't remember) of another Express 27 that is now sold: Lazy Hotel. This is the hotel that is off watch, not in use at that point in time but waiting for its turn. As you can imagine, this is the type of gear that you don't get to use very often, so it doesn't "decay" very fast and buying it second hand is a much cheaper proposition.

(the real name of the boat is Salty Hotel which is better from both an accommodation and an ocean crossing perspective. However, my ultra cheap joke doesn't work anymore...)

ps: BeatSarcoma has a new look.
