Hello.
Well done on your purchase of a Spice!! What number is it??
We bought Spice 320 a couple of weeks ago, we had one last year, sold it, missed it, so bought another one!! We also sail a Buzz.
I don't have a Spice manual to hand, but i have just realised that the chap i bought it from said he had one so i will contact him and see if he will send it to me, i can then copy it and send to you if you want.
Any immediate requirements you have let me know and i can send you a photo of the Buzz set up, which is probably the same.
For info, the rig settings i found last year from the Spice web when it existed are;
Rig Tension - 350 to 450lbs measured on the jib luff, i use the slacker end of the scale. This is 28 to 32 on a Superspars rig tension gauge.
Mast Rake - 7.52 metres (measured with rig tension applied, my last Spice measured 7.49m, my current Spice measures 7.55ish)
Hope that helps . . .
Stuart.

Hello Stuart
I'll let you know the spice no
I'm new to sailing the spice is my first dinghy i hope i've not bit off more than i can chew with it .Brought the spice on ebay from a guy who knew as much as i do, so i took it back to my club expecting
someone there to fill me with there wisdom but no takers.
So if you could contact that chap regarding the manual it'd be a great help and i would be greatfull of the Buzz photo's
many thanks

Oops, i hope your a fast learner!! Although the Spice is fairly forgiving for the type of boat it is.
Where do you sail? Is it the white Spice that was on ebay, number 356 i think.
