Well, as usual, while I ordered new sails for the 35s5, I stumbled
across these sails USED but graded by the loft 8 out 10 in what they
say is great condition.

These are the sails being sold....

I can get them for 2K, but are these fragile sails that won't last very
long? The genoa is Pentax Mylar and the main is Kevlar. Anyone have
experience with these higher-tech sails?

Why is there a 'B' on the sail if it's on a Mac26X ?

the stackpack and that's with my dealer discount.


So you are a stackpack dealer?


Nope. I negotiated a deal with Doyle and my club for discounts to
members. I can also get a Dutchman for 25% off and no tax, if I wanted
one. I also have a lesser deal with UK sails, but some folks really
like their stuff, even though it's pricey.
I went for the stackpack because it works with multiple mains, fully
protects the main and is fully convirtible. Both the stackpack and the
Dutchman are great, but the stackpack is just more capable.
We have a Tartan 37 here which had the choice and also went with the
stackpack after trying both. However, the owner of the H43 here didn't
like the height of the doyle system since he's barely 5'5 tall.

Gawd, that's one butt-ugly boat. And it has a silly little cockpit.
Aren't you glad its not yours?

It does look like its making a pretty good VMG, however.
