So I ordered a new jib snorkel because I now have a mast up storage spot at mission bay yacht club. Not only did it get here fast the quality is off the chart! I opted for the top gun fabric so this increased the price a little bit but I feel this will last a long time! Hobie wants 120 for the same part except theirs is made out of cheap tarp material that seems weak. Also did I mention it took only 6 days to arrive. I ordered it close of business Wednesday and came home today to it sitting on the porch!!’

I had great service from Whirlwind sail. They made me a new red jib for my Hobie 21SE two years ago and they also made me a great snorkel out of Sunbrella .

The snorkel is a rather tight fit .....

As I looked through my sail files, I found the receipt for a white Smyth Jib sail I had made back in '94 and both sailmaker charge me the same amount....but with Chip from Whirlwind, he also supplied a snorkel too.
