Want To Buy: Assymetrical Spinnaker for Beneteau 361

[Iduna]

I'm looking to buy a used assymetric spinnaker for a Beneteau 361.

Looking for a lighter-air all-around downwind sail. All of the online sites like baconsails have been sold out for a while, but I see ones for similar boats. I'm not sure how to size one out or how to tell if one from a different boat would work.

I was looking for the same earlier this year to replace my old asymmetrical, and found that new sails made in Asia by reputable lofts are reasonably priced and get good reviews. I was given these dimensions by one of the companies:

I: 13.78m J: 4.25m
Sail Area = 89.60m2

Can you provide some references to those lofts?

I was considering National Sail Supply (dealer for Rolly Tasker) and Far East Sails

Over the years, I've ordered six sails from the Tasker loft in Thailand. Three sails were direct to the loft, the others were placed through National Sail Supply. They include a set of storm sails, high-aspect inner jib, two assyms, and a furling code zero. In each case, I have been 100% pleased. The Tasker loft used American cloth, outstanding hand work, great price.

Thanks, I've sent them a quote request.
Although, I do think a used is in my best interest at the moment seeing as I'm a very beginner sailor and I've never flown a spinnaker before (i'm also broke).

I may have one for you. I have an .75 oz. asymetrical in very good condition, per the UK loft in Miami that just inspected it and measured it. It also has an ATN sock, which is the Mecedes of socks. It is from my previous boat which had an I of 46.5 and a J of 14.75 which is very similar to your 361. I had hoped I could use it on my new (to me) boat, but my I is 51.5 feet so the spinnaker is just to small. I've asked the loft for the dimensions of the sail as I have inadvertantly deleated the email which included that information. If you are interested, PM me.
