And is that an orangutan holding the sail in the pic 5th from the bottom?


How come your 100% jib doesn't hoist to the mast head?

The real riot here are the main and jib halyards. 3 strand rope! How do you
maintain luff tension Crappy? The last time I saw 3 strand rope used for any
running rigging was in the comedy Summer Vacation. I guess you can't use
double braid with Hong Kong Sails. They might explode.

What kind of idiot takes pics of his sails while they're still in the
bag? That main looks awfully wrinklely.

Look again big boy. The rope is but a tail as the halyards are
wire/rope combinations. The wire commences only about a
foot above the cleat or winch. How much stretch does one
foot of rope have anyway. Bwahahahahahhaha!

My wire halyards stretch less than your high tech fiber crap!

You can't shape your sails wiith only five knots? These are either
crappy sails, or you're one ****ty sailor. Probably both.

Well you must use different wire than the rest of the sailing population. High
tech line stretches less than wire these days bub. Read up. Plus who wants to
deal with wire anyway.
