Joe,

About the shelved Main. Do I think it is better than the loose foted
sail?
Joe, I don't Know. I've been a fan of the Shelf for a lot of years and
I would be sailing one right now if I hadn't FU.

I don't like the standard sail, with the foot connected to the boom.
I've alway preferred free footed main and assumed they should be selved,

I didn't asked for it on this sail and was shocked when it wasn't there.
I called "NORTH" and they said it would be no problem to add one but
they suggested I try the sail as is. Saying they will add the shelf any
time.

Know what? I don't miss it at all.
Is it better? I don't know.

I can't hook it up to my rain catcher.

The jury is still out on that question.
