Tornado sails are far more available on the used market . Can they be used on a P19 mx ? i a trying to weigh my options against spending the $2500 on brand new P19 sails .

yes but it will probably need to be cut a little
T masts are 31'

p19 Mast Length: 30'3" (9.22m).

i have had 3 or 4 on my mystery 5.5 mast (30' mast)

Ok MN3 ..thanks for the info..
so no other mods required.. (for the lack of the right terms) the front of the sail has the rope shape to slide into and up the mast and the cunningham block attachment at front of sail is at the right height /place ?

just want to crystal clear before I make a purchase

I have a used Smyth jib and a used Danger jib, both measured good at nationals in 1997 and 1998 if you need head sails.

Anyone know how much US customs duty is involved in buying a sail from Europe . BNR site has some interesting deals on sails ..

I have a C2 F18 main available. I understand it would fit easily.
