Default NEW Sails!!!

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.
