Max hoist, ignoring one design demands, is a grey area. People play with those numbers all the time. My sail is max hoist for the roach level while NOT chafing the backstay. I'm not racing, so why would I want what you want? You've made no sense at all...unless I bought the sails for racing which you know I did not. You've done nothing here but sound terribly terribly jealous. RB 35s5 NY |

SAIL? Was it max hoist? Or max hoist for THAT sail? Max hoist, ignoring one design demands, is a grey area. People play with those numbers all the time. LOL............... Where do you come up with this stuff? Grey area? Hey dimwit Beneteau says the P dimension for that swim platform is 42.65 unless you have the tall rig which in that case it's 45.27. Grey area????????? In either case that's where the black band goes and that's full hoist. You don't have a sail made, hoist it, and then attach a black band to the hoist of THAT sail. Maybe in the Matrix you have a sail made by some knucklehead and the black band goes wherever the knucklehead's sail stops. This is a riot. |

Maybe in the Matrix you have a sail made by some knucklehead and the black band goes wherever the knucklehead's sail stops. This is a riot. Yes, this is why so many discussions can be found on making sails with different hoists and more roach or just shorter hoists period. I already posted the pic of my masthead. NO BLACK BAND. I already posted 4 PICS of boats with the SAME HOIST. The black band on the 35s5 pics are all in different spots, but everyone can see it but you. You're so ignorant of anything but racing it's hilarious. The max hoist stripe on my C&C 32 was higher than normal because the previous owner had Halsey make a custom main...and it worked great. So according to you this Kevlar main won't work well. The owner of Doyle, who lost a 4500 dollar job because I bought these sails seems to think I got a steal of a deal. Let's see who's right when these sails go on! RB 35s5 NY |

Well, there seem to be a couple of people interested in the fact that you have bought a near-black kevlar mainsail for daysailing Yep, you hit the nail on the head. I bought a hi tech sail for something that is well beneath it's useful envelope. I only canceled my Doyle dacron sails because this looked to be a lot of fun for way less money, even if the sails last 2-3 seasons. I don't race, so the sails will be fine even if they are overkill to the tenth power. But only one person is upset and that's Sloco. And he thinks I got these sails for 50% off. He doesn't even know what a new Kevlar AKS-Contender sail costs new. RB 35s5 NY |

Dude, Upset? I don't think so. I've bartered for most of my new sails over the years so my normal price for a new sail winds up being 50% off. Oh, and by the way they always fit the boat meaning they hoist to the black bands. |

On a hospitality boat like Capt. Rob's Beneteau it doesn't really matter if the sail fits exactly between them, does it? Of course it wouldn't. Sloco is the only person here carrying on about racing spec and perfect hoist even though this sail has great Sq. ft. than a stock sail. Even that doesn't matter. These are slick, high tech expensive sails that Sloco doesn't own and he ****ed. He's so ****ed that he just told you get already gets 50% off on his sails. But in earlier e-mails he said I was only getting 50% off. Wow....he's really jealous and showing it. I paid a lot less than 50% off of course. Sloco has been in a tizzy ever since I bought a faster bigger nicer boat. The sad part is that it really doesn't matter to me....only to him. And that's been worth a lot of laughs lately. Oh, and wait until I post pics of the actual hoist. He'll shoot a Moose out his ass! RB 35s5 NY |
