Carbon uni tape on ebay

Post by Ed »

Hi all,

There is currently someone on ebay selling whole rolls of carbon uni tape. This is wonderful stuff, it is amazingly strong and a little used with care can turn a bodge fix into an amazingly strong repair.

I normally pay over £3.00 a metre, but this is much cheaper at £75 for a 50m roll. The rub being you have to buy a whole roll.

I was just curious if anyone might be interested in going halves on a roll? I would buy a complete roll and I know that it would come in useful, but just a bit low on dosh.

Anybody interested?

Item number: 150343907127

Up for a third, if half is too much.

Some Class Rules ban it - the Albacore is one that does. And you'll be drummed out of Les Voiliers d'Antibes and Cannes if you use it inside your mast. :D Presumably not an issue with the Jollyboat! :wink:
