Hi Spam.
            It is possible the site is not up to date but you could phone and ask. I seem to remember the pekabe catalogue was an insert
 in the middle pages of a catalogue I got from a supplier some years ago. The pekabe catalogue was a white background with the fittings being shown in colour..wonder if I`ve still got it.

 you could try the other 3 suppliers link        http://www.sailsetc.com/        Housemartin Sails

                                                                   http://www.nylet-sails.co.uk/map.html

 Would be interested to see some pix of your A boat as I have a bit of yacht fetish..

                                                         cheers Frank.

Hi Frank,
            Fetish coming your way, I own a Sweet 9 supplied by Peter Wiles of PJSails she is 74inches long and 12inch beam with a one piece 7 foot hollow carbon mast. Winch is a RMG 380 and digital servo on the rudder mainly for holding power and speed. I have a third mini winch servo in the boom for adjustment while under sail to adjust the sail camber.
 
My most recent race was at Gosport last weekend here's a clip on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5s7gu2eM4I although I was not in this race but some top skippers are there including Lester Gilbert with his Graham Bantock 'Sword'
