Hey Nutsy & Doug,

If the boom isn't supposed to bend, why in the hell is the vang used?
I've been led to believe that the vang is used to tension the main, to
control the "cord" by bending the boom. Is this wrong?

Oz,

I've just ordered a new North Main. They have a pretty good deal going
right now. It is a trade in (rebate) on your old main. With the rebate
they came in the lowest priced of Hild, UK, Omega ( Staff- a local loft)

I also got an interesting sea story with the purchase. I said the sail
was for my Gulf 29 and the sailmaker said that his Mother told him he
was conceived on a Gulf 29.. Now that's what I call a fast vessel!!

I'll Drink to That!

How much money are you talking about? What is the luff length?
