| New sails
I thought about this issue for a long time. I like to support local workers and I want some service when the need arises. Price is always an issue. North had a sale on, and that put their price below the local manufacturer. So I got a new main and headsail. They also looked at all my other sails and provided comment,at no charge. I left an old main for them to sell and will get a used no 4 when it is sold. The mast on our boat is not too tall so I got the main with a fair bit of roach in it and four ( I think ) full battens up high. The new sail is a joy and I can spill the air if needed. I might not get full battens if I was in a hurricane hole or for an ocean passage as I have heard they could have problems. For that I would use the old main. BC Mike C
