Charlie,

I think you're way off base here. The major part of the cost for the
system
is not going to be the parts. It's going to be the sail maker's labor in
modifying your main, modifying your sail cover and installing the system.
Even a major break on the parts cost isn't going to make a big difference
in
the total cost.



I assume Chuckles is talking about me, since he's obsessed with me,
following my every word from newsgroup to newsgroup.

You're right. The labor was the major part of the cost... I decided that
since they were much more experienced with the Dutchman, it made sense to
get them to do it. The only additional expense besides what they charged me
was paying someone else to go up the mast. That was the cost of a lunch. I
modified the sail cover myself.
