Wrong, Mike did sell me an old spinnaker a few years ago. It is a little narrow in the shoulders for a Hawkfarm, but that's probably why I've not crashed when flying it. He said it was old, when I looked at the head more closely, I read "measured 1967". However, it managed survive 32 kts in the last Delta Ditch, so I can recommend his old cast offs.
If anyone needs a 13' pole, Symetrical Spinnaker with 52' luff, and/or North Sock for same, send me a PM.
