Give it up, old man! My sails are better than yours in every possible way.

For one thing, all my sails are real. I won't have that roll-up crap aboard.

My mainsail has the following dimensions:

P = 27 feet
E = 9" 6"
Area = 134 ft2
6.9 US oz Dacron white
4 standard battens
two reef points at 4' and 8' above boom with clamcleat at each reef
number 91 in black color on each side
Coronado insignia in black on both sides
luff 1/2 inch slug slides
foot- shelf foot with 3/8" bolt rope with 3/8" slug at clew
triple stitch, aluminum headboard, leach line with clam cleat, patches
at head, tack, clew, telltales, sailbags, tie lines in reefing points,
tack offset: A = 5-3/8", B=1", C=sliding, D=6", E = 1", F = 3/4"
Price= $515.95 USD

It's OK for you to be jealous.

As for your silly roll-up headsail, I got you beat because I have the following
hank-on, trouble free sails.

Storm jib (new)
75% jib (new)
100% jib (new)
110% jib (old, original)
130% jenny (new)
150% jenny (new)
170% jenny (old original)
Asymmetrical cruising spinnaker with sock (matching blue and yellow) (new)
150% drifter (blue and white stripes) (good condition, Bacon's)

Crapton Neal;

My main is 160 sq ft. Larger than yours. What is the size of your Hong
Kong Main anyhow? You should be able to give us a very accurate reading
right off your purchase sheet as I did.

My "J" is 11' 10". I carry a 319 sq ft Jenny on a furler. It is a 10-40
HH Regulater 150%

For light air I have a Hild 170% Drifter which is 331 sq ft, which I can
fly free behind the rolled up jenny or I can remove the Jenny and set
the Drifter in the slot on the twin groove furler, for racing purpose in
Cruising Class,

I also, carry a Assy. Spinnaker that falls somewhere in between the
Jenny and the Drifter. Not sure exactly the sq ft ? I've modified it a
few times. Added panels to it between the bottom panel (2) Eased the top
Vertical section some when I put it in the sleeve.

That's my sails. I know my "P" is higher than yours because you told me
the main I offered you was to long. Tell us Neal, what is the size of
Rig?
