Joel, Go to Sailrite for orange sticky-back cloth of adequate size. I used that on my storm jib and trysail. Easy and cheap.

Epirb should be less. I'd talk to safety chair before painting the sail. Joel Aronson On Nov 19, 2012, at 1:27 PM, David Paine <paineda...@gmail.com> wrote: Interesting. I am playing with sailing the Newport-Bermuda 1-2 and I too am a bit scared off by the entry costs. If I had a storm trisail (I don't yet), I'd spray paint the top third orange with a can of compatible (latex) paint. Any idea what the EPIRB/Raft rental costs are? I qualified last summer by sailing the offfshore single handed 160 in my 1975 C&C 33.

You may be correct that only a % had to be orange. The speaker was not sure.
