    Default Stolen A3 Asym, never used, theft of 3BF victory

    Hi,

    If anyone runs into a great deal on an A3 spinnaker with a 42' hoist, unused, in the box, with a bag, it was appropriated either from a UPS truck or my front door, please let me know. It has "28340" across the face of the sail. I was planning to beat "Rags", and "Taz" with it this weekend.

    It will reappear after the race. (Kidding - that sucks!)

    I have an A1.5 you can borrow:

    Luff 44.8
    Leech 37.6
    Foot 28.7
    AMG 24.5
    871 s/ft
    81 s/m

    It's pretty light but so is the forecast.

    Pretty funny comment, got a chuckle. Thanks for the offer, but I will wait for the 2 nd iteration of this sail to arrive. Off to strugle with UPS.

    Sadly I don't have anything of value delivered to my doorstep anymore. Everything goes to my office where it is delivered safely to the front desk. Sucks it has come to this.

    sadly as well, I had asked the vendor to have UPS put hold at their delivery center, and an additional insult I also asked UPS to hold it at their delivery center when they tried delivering the first time. Works great with USPS and FedEx. Oh well.

    colors are pretty monochrome. White with red numbers, 28340. Also large luff arrows showing which way to point the bow.

    I no longer (happily) have an office so don't have that option for UPS deliveries anymore.
    UPS has a free service called My Choice. It allows package tracking, an email from them the day before an item is to be delivered giving a delivery time window, and another email within minutes after delivery. Most importantly it gives the option of re-directing the delivery to a UPS Store, or other location. I've been happy useing My Choice for the last few years.
