Go ahead; I've got a good grip on my chair. Firer Away with another
dumb
rebuttal. I'm ready:^)


The 35s5 sails were said to be in great shape....but here's what I
found during the full survey. The mylar main was badly stained with
mildew. An effort was made to wash it...a no-no, and it suffered even
more. The owner said I'd get a season out of it and he was right. The
110% was in the same kind of shape, more ugly than worn, but now has
some delamination. The 155 is in good shape, but FAR too much sail for
the boat. I'll probably sell it off at some point. The chute is
practically new. The heavier storm sail is unused. So in short it was a
mixed bag. I paid less for the boat after the sails were surveyed.
I've bought very nice sails to replace these and I'm excited to get
them up!

I've e-mailed you the deal I got....

It's a fractional rig, dummy! I'm trying to think of how many times my
J29 and J30 sailing friends with fractional rigs fly their big
headsails....almost never. Nor does Mark P. who owns Doyle sails here
along with a C&C 41. He agrees that a 110 is fine most of the time on
his CF fractional.
A 155 on a fractional rig, Sloco? How often is THAT needed?! Where do
you sail...in a CAVE????

BWAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA!

Boob, who are you trying to kid. "People with frac rigs on LIS don't
use their #1s" What are they a bunch of pussys?

35s5 toooooooooo tender for a #1

Not you! You think people with fractional rigs are flying 155%'s all
the time!!!!
We rarely used the 155 on the C&C 32! Oh, how about the 1990 Ericson 34
I sail on...he's flying a 135% and needs to furl that down as well. I
guess these are all too tender for 155's, right?
You sure KNOW boats, Sloco!!!!

Nutsy,

A Question; You have a Self Furler on your Head Stay, Why are you
cutting a #1? Why aren't you just rolling it up?

It sounds like your "2nd Hand head sail" isn't going to be able to take
a partial reef? Is that the case? Will you be able to roll it to a 100%
if you can't cut it?

I guess I'm asking; If you furl it, will it lose its driving force and
just be a Heeling Producer?

I don't understand the mentality of cutting down a head sail on a Self
Furler?

Please explain?
