Hey Neal,

I just thoughtof something. North is giving me 25% off the purchase
price ($368.00) What are your dimension of your main? They can't be that
far off of mine. For $368 you have a huge improvement on your boat. This
sail is only 14 years old and in good condition but would need a tuck
taken in it.
Spec;= E=10' 4"
P=31'
Sail Area=160 Sq Ft
Two Reefs, plus a flatting reef ( Which I have been sailing the last two
years
3/4" flat sail slides for mast, 3/8" bolt rope for boom. 4" tack off set

It's yours for $368, if you're interested

P is to long, my P is 27 feet (problem).
I is too long, my I is 10 feet (probably not a problem).

I have round slides (problem).

The tack offset is about right, boltrope for boom is right.

The main problem is it's too tall. Close but no banana!

Thanks, Thom, but it wouldn't fit and it's probably more worn out
than mine because you motor most of the time with the sail
flogging like Booby does.

They make them in SE Asia (Taiwan, I think). Very cheap labor.

That proves my point. If all races have loose-footed mains
then they are not as well-suited for cruising.

You idiots with your racing mentality make me want to
puke. Automobile racers use fuel cells instead of fuel
tanks; does that mean you should have a fuel cell in
your Toyota?

Stop already with the idiotic thinking that racing crap has
any place on a cruising boat.

Okay, raise you hand if you're sailing a Toyota.

Neal is an idiot AGAIN!

Neal,

I wish you could have been here. You would have laughed your ass off. I
had to make a special trip to pick up bronze wool to clean the boom
track, so the outhaul car would travel cleanly. Removed the cunningham
hook so the sail would feed in and slide (that outhaul car hasn't been
that far up the boom in 14 years) The outhaul line is internal in the
boom and runs to the goose neck. I figured I could feed the bolt rope at
the mast and draw it home with the out haul.

With the wind piping up, I was going as fast as I could go. I took the
new main out of the bag, located the leech corner with out unrolling the
sail (so it wouldn't get blown into the water) Started to feed the foot
into the boom slot. Surprise,surprise. It wouldn't stay in the track. I
had spent over an hour on prep that wasn't necessary. By now the wind is
blowing, gangbusters.

One of my Dock buddies came aboard and helped me set the full battens.
He couldn't understand how they went. Had to explain how the pocket
closures worked. Thank the Lord he came to help. I wouldn't have made it
without him. I even mentioned your name and Bobsprit's. I gave thanks
neither one of you were here

Thought I'd give you a run down so you and RB could have your laugh

So, what you're saying is, you like to sail as slowly as possible?

I is 10'? Is that some kind of a 3/8 fractional rig? What's your "J"
measurement? About 3'?
