Tom Lathrop Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Jack, Have you posted photos of your new sprits'l? How do you find it handling? Is it slow in stays? How do you run and handle the mainsheet? Tom Quote
J.Dillon Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 Tom , the image shown is the new sail. I first tried it on the boat a few years ago( maybe 5 ) desiring to go faster and point higher. This sail did both. BUT the boat seemed much more tender as the new mast was over 6 ' higher and the sail about 10 sq ft more in area. Not much but I found sailing with the new higher rig too touchy( for me) so I returned to the original gaff sprit which I'm much more comfortable with. So now the new hardly used sail & 22 mast are looking for another boat to give a different skipper power to move his dream boat along. Jack Quote
