The Amex carbon bowsprit is one of the earlier, longer versions which retracts into the cockpit when not in use.  I have customised it by putting wooden plugs incorporating fairleads in both ends, so that the tack line (included) is adjustable and can be brought back in to the cockpit through the hollow middle of the bowsprit.  Also includes a Dyneema bobstay.  With not much extra string, it could incorporate side shrouds to give it additional strength.

The spinnaker is black and white, made by Hyde and in good condition.  Sheets and sheet strops are not included - I recommend using ratchet blocks on the sheet strops.  Photos below.

I have a different spinnaker and semi-permanent wooden bowsprit now, so this set-up is surplus to requirements and gathering dust in my shed.

£200 ono.  If interested, send me a pm or (much less reliably) contact me by email on graham dot wickenden btopenworld com
