Default New SAILS Update!

Well, as I said...we have an awesome hi tech main ready to go on the
boat! It's lying here in the hall, rolled and waiting. You could not
EVER look at this and think it was used. Amazing deal!

BUT, I spoke to a few sailors who race and they were worried about the
Pentax Mylar being cut down from 135% (actually 133.3333%) all the way
down to 115%. There was some concern that the movement of the center of
effort would stress the tri-radial sail wrong, outside of it's design
goal and shorten it's life. Okay....Not more than 20 minutes after that
conversation my phone rings and it's the loft. He says he can't cut the
sail down to 115% for exactly that reason. It will be more in the
120-125% range. Coolness!
