| sails
the difference between a good loft and just any loft is the difference between good and bad sails. if you are not accustomed to good sails, or if your boat is a full keel heavy displacement boat with limited performance paramers, it may not matter.
My boat is an ims design and it is very important to me and my boat.
the design draft depth for new mainsails is 8% of the mid girth length.
dacron sials lose this quickly and become deep and less effective.
compostie sails dont last as long as dacron but do a far better job maintaining their flattness
