Neal,

Listen to what the Nav is saying. He is telling it true. The greatest
depth of the Chord should be in the forward 1/3 of the sail. This
shouldn't be a problem with a new sail. As the sail ages it falls
further back.That is when you you start looking for new sails.

Looking at your pictures I would say you have those sails set TO TIGHT.
Ease up!
let the new sails that their own shape.

On the main sail, for the size sail you have and being new, your halyard
tension shouldn't be any tighter than you can get without the wench and
sheet tension should be just enough to pull the top batten parallel to
the boom. Get that draft forward without over adjusting.

That, I hope is my final comment. If I can help you in anyway, e-mail
me.

Don't stretch those new sails out of shape
"I'LL DRINK TO THAT!"
