How old? I have the original 1997 brochure.

Perhaps the same question - does anyone have tuning numbers to make the latest generation of sails work well on Bennett Vipers given the differences in headstay positions and possibly some other parts as well?

I might have some old 1997 stuff too.  I can't remember if I sent it with the boat or not when I sold #29.

I've been tuning my Bennett using the Doyle guide for reference/starting points. Been sailing to the PHRF rating or better in local racing. Need to get crew that is willing to leave the state to run with the pack.
