CS17 - New Sails

Recommended Posts


I built my sails from a kit designed by Sailrite. They are not square-topped, but there is a fair amount of roach. The kit was very complete and went together easily. It takes about a weekend per sail if you have friends who are willing to drop everyting to help you.

 

The sails set well even in light winds. The battens are not full but rather just long enough to hold the roached leech steady. Here is a time-lapse of part of the process:

And some pics of the final product here:

Of course, these are for a CS 20, but I'm sure scaling them for the 17 would be no problem.

 

Good luck, and post some pics of your new sails whatever you decide on.

 

Cheers,

PeteB
