Good news, good news
 

Your sails are worn out from the vibration your twin diesels
cause. Your poor mainsail sitting bunched up there atop the
rattling boom vibrating and chafing is a sad spectacle.

Yes, that's something else I need to add to my list of why
diesels are inferior to outboard motors - severe sail chafe.

Yes, white, radiant, brilliant, clean, new, polished and spic and span

Not some old yellowing rags most of this group calls sails
and use on THEIR boats.

Believe it or not when I was a boy on the farm and had to get
up every morning at five AM to hand milk a couple cows and three
goats I actually used bag balm on some of the animals whose
udders were a bit raw. It really seemed to help.

What do you do if they made some mistake?

Can you return them and who pays for shipping?

Honk Kong Sails made mine. They have a website:
http://www.netfun.com/cgi-bin/hksail/
Check them out. They are the best priced sails
by far with standard features like double row of
reef points, sail insignia and numbers tell tales,
etc. that others charge extra for. I got a main
and working jib for a little over a grand including
shipping.

From looking at the sails that just arrived yesterday
I'd say the quality and workmanship is excellent.
I managed to get the old mainsail off and the new
one bent on but a big thunderstorm came up and
I had to put the cover on the sail even before getting
the battens in yesterday evening. Maybe if the
weather holds I'll get some sailing in today and
take some pics to post on a webpage at my
site.

Good luck.

Hi Simon,
What kind of sails did you get and was it a good deal?
I'm
currently looking around for new sails for my 28. Thanks for any help.

Dear Group,

I managed to nurse my new sails through customs and have word
from FED EX tracking that the sails are on the delivery truck which
left from Marathon (forty miles south of here) at a little after nine
this morning. I should have the sails in my grubby little hands later
on this afternoon.

Boy are you gonna be jealous when you get a load of how well the
new sails set and how shiny new they look. No more critics allowed
like the last time I showed pics of worn-out sails. There will be
nothing
to criticize.

Look for a link to a new webpage showing actual sailing pictures with
new working sails in a week or two.

For someone that lectures about buying quality.... you certainly let cost
over-ride the influence on your purchase.
You get what you pay for... and all you got is a set of inferior sails. How
lubberly can you get you sniveling little dock sailor of a man. PATHETIC!!!

.... maybe you were trying for a low cost rigging switch to a "Chinese Junk"

Thanks old fellow. I stopped and got a little lunch and made a quick web
page so you could all see how much better my new sails are than my old.

I'm hoisting sail again in a few minutes because conditions are great.
I've got plenty of beer and ice and new sails.
