New Square Top Main

Fitting, had to make new battens then fit them.




Under sail:



So far, pretty impressed. Seems to be very forgiving in terms of trim, very easy to keep the leech open in light wind, great drive out of tacks.

Have only had very light breeze, and very shifty, so haven't really tried pointing as high as possible. Sails nicely at 30' AWA though.


(I fully realise new sails were a waste of money, given that we motor 4000% of the time, but they look nice, don't they?)
