They *look* very nice, Neal, but I'm not a sailor (yet) so what do I
know. ;-)

The draft on the main is too far back. What is the forestay tension
like? If it's saggy you would have been able to tighten the backstay to
good effect but with a deck mounted mast I doubt you'll adjust mast bend
so easily. You'll have to adjust the relative tension between uppers and
lowers.

I'd be more than happy to give you a sailing lesson or two
sometime. (Won't even charge you!)

Let me know when you are available.

Hey stupid the wind was only blowing five or six knots. The sails
were hardly even able to shape out. You know nothing!

They look like cheap crap Cappy!
Damn that jib's got the draft waaaay out the back door, and overtight
leech, and what's with all those woofles in from the leech.
The main....well maybe after a few years of wear of some intensive
sailing lessons that upper leech may open up.

We'll see eh?

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

The reef cringles are on sewn on straps. That aint' gonna hold up, Cappy. You
need a real cringle sewn into the sail.

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

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