My new to me C-250 WB is looking really nice after a winter of wet sanding, compounding, polishing and waxing. I wet sanded (1000,2000,3000), compounded, polished and waxed the tinted windows and they look new.

Got to do a little sailing (early warm days here in South Carolina)

It's time to replace the 20 year old jib. UV has destroyed the luff and there is now a 6' long tear right along the luff. Being so old I just want to get a new one.

Looking for recommended Jib/Genoa configuration and vendors

Thank you!

I had to replace mine on my 2004 C-250 after a storm last fall that ripped my original jib down the middle. I reached out to Josh Wilus at Doyle Sails Gulf Coast and he was very helpful in helping me get the right measurements to replace with a 135% genoa with sun cover. It was right at $1400 with shipping from FL to TX. doylegulfcoast@gmail.com

Check out Catalina Direct -- they sell sails from Ullman, Ventura loft. Gary Swenson at Ullman is an expert on all Catalina models (he supplied Catalina yachts) and Catalina Direct has very competitive pricing.
