Festus, Thanks for your help. My sailbag mysteriously re-appeared in the locker room. The sails appear to be in good shape except the bolt rope is torn out in several places so I sail it loose footed. The jib has a wire cable in the luff. I ordered some battens from Kerr Sails in Tulsa...

Thanks for posting the photo. I will now try to rig a cunningham. I was wondering if the Viper 15 has a boom vang? Anyone know what diameter the halyards are on this boat? Mine need to be replaced. I sailed mine for the first time in about 15mph winds and was very impressed at how well she...
