![]() 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, 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? RB 35s5 NY |
