Do you know what this symbol means - . - as in "If I meant a radial
cut, I'd have said 'radial cut' instead of 'cross cut'. Period.
Very simple English, why can you not understand?
Let me explain. I was being nice to you. I saw a possible slip up on
your part and was giving you the chance to correct yourself if
necessary. In the earlier post you said :
"For running & light air, the old fashioned cross cut is better. It can
be cut with - deeper shape --"
which as far as I know is wrong as that is the main benefit of a radial
head e.g. 'big girls'? So I politely questioned whether you meant that.
Since it seems that you think that cross cuts are deeper and better I
cannot help but wonder how your view (that cross cuts are better) flies
in the face of general knowlege that high performance yachts use radial
cut sails for downwind sailing.
Of course I must be wrong because you are Doug King (who can't own an
expensive radial cut sail but who does have a propellor on all his boats).
Cheers
