Nutsy,

Or should we address you as; "2nd Hand Rose?"

Are you putting ultra violet protection on the the Leech of your 2nd
handed Butchered Head Sail?

Seems like your wonderful Deck Level Furler is just "Junk" now. Worth
nothing on e-bay because of the Track attached.

Seems like a very poor mental error on your part. I want to go on
recorded of not agreeing with any thing you've done with your Head
Sail. Starting with the purchase of a racing jib for a cruising knock
about boat, The need to go to the pointy End of the boat to hank on a
head sail and remove it from a useless Self Furling system.

I'm really not sure that you are that stupid. Is this just another of
your; "Lying trolls?"

Thom, I paid nothing for the Pentax Mylar. I thought I e-mailed you and
gave you the facts. I traded a sail from my closet, a 1989 Kevlar Lt.
#1 from a J35. To be fare, it's in like new shape and worth more than
what I'm getting, but I couldn't use it or recut it and I got less that
400 bucks for the last one I sold.
The pentax mylar has only been cut down 8% and a new cover added. I've
been promised that it's 8-9 condition or my money back. Same for the
main and that sail, already delivered, is hard to rate much below a 10
for condition.
The Genoa was cut high to make it easier for a small crew to handle and
for singlehanding. The deck sweeper is a pain and I don't race. On top
of that the loft threw in new battens for the main and is including a
lazy jack system for free. I can't see the downside of a basically free
hi tech sail, cut for easier handling that I will use for bopping
around the bay. True, we're not taking advantage of the below deck
furler, but so what? I'm not taking advantage of all the 35s5's
potential or any boat for that matter. Who does? Perhaps you can
enlighten me?

Nutsy,

Years ago, when I lived in NY and Herb Hild was still alive and sailing
his Tartan, he had a saying that has stuck with me. He said: " Anything
that keep me, my family and my friends off the pointy end of the Boat is
a GOOD THING!"

Nutsy, you have turned that completely around by going to a Hanked on
head sail!

You've made Neal happy and me disgusted. You've gone against a
cruiser's way. Sorry, I disagree with you (For what ever that means
coming from a Beached Bum)

Thom, I think you're confused. The Pentax Mylar has a UV cover and was
built to be furled and left up. Perhaps if I was going away for a week
or more, I'd roll and stow, but otherwise it's no different than my
current Mylar 110% except that it's in great shape and will be easier
to fly.

Sorry Nutsy,

I asked about Ultra Lite protection and didn't get an answer or at least
I don't remember an affirmative answer.

Is you have it set-up for Self Furling and storage on the Head Stay;
GOOD ON YOU!! I stand corrected. Carry on.
