Default Sloco & Doug: Dumb and Dumberer

No answer from Sloco or Doug on this one of course!

Hey Dufas, everybody doesn't spend their every waking moment on the
internet.
As far as your swim platform not having a black band to indicate full
hoist that's either the builder's fault or the spar makers fault. And
if those two fell asleep that the incompetents who commissioned the
boat didn't do their job.
As far as the other photos go they are too fuzzy to indicate
anything.
As far as your great new main being designed short because of some
huge roach well that's just plain bunk. The spar designer builds the
stick with enough room over the designed full hoist (read black band)
to allow for a max roach sail to pass thru the backstay. That much is
proven by your own photos and can be seen on any boat. Your deal sail
is worth exactly what you paid for it. 50% off. The original
purchaser probably turned it down.
35s5 sails better with a reef.
