Default Mainsail hoist


You don't have a sail made, hoist it, and then
attach a black band to the hoist of THAT sail. Maybe in the Matrix you

have a sail made by some knucklehead and the black band goes wherever
the knucklehead's sail stops. This is a riot.


Yes, this is why so many discussions can be found on making sails with
different hoists and more roach or just shorter hoists period.
I already posted the pic of my masthead. NO BLACK BAND. I already
posted 4 PICS of boats with the SAME HOIST. The black band on the 35s5
pics are all in different spots, but everyone can see it but you.
You're so ignorant of anything but racing it's hilarious. The max hoist
stripe on my C&C 32 was higher than normal because the previous owner
had Halsey make a custom main...and it worked great.
So according to you this Kevlar main won't work well. The owner of
Doyle, who lost a 4500 dollar job because I bought these sails seems to
think I got a steal of a deal. Let's see who's right when these sails
go on!
