This morning we got the main set up, long soft battens in and then got
the sail about 95% up while I swapped out the outhaul control lines,
then.....set out to see how the main would fare. It was not blowing
much...just under 7-10 knots at the most and raining off an on as we
sailed.
What a revelation. I know sails are important but WOW!!!! The boat
sailed fast and every puff of air seemed to translate into an instant
increase of speed...as though the kevlar sail was a solid object. The
boat went upwind better and the sail is gorgeous to look at. The main
also seems to weigh half of what the old sails did.

When I got home the Pentax-Mylar genoa was waiting for me. I couldn't
believe how little it weighed compared to the much heavier yet smaller
mylar 110. I was told this sail rated an 8-9 for condition, but it
seems to be in at least the same 9+ condition as the mainsail. Sadly
it's now blowing something fierce outside, so I'm not about to do a
sailchange until it's a bit nicer.

I will post pics when both sails are flying....probably tomorrow or
Sunday!

Very happy with these sails!!!!!

Nutsy,

Glad you're happy with your sails. I hope it isn't the same song you
sang about your old sail when you purchased the boat.

Also hope you'll be happy with their length of service. Again, I'm not
sure I would have gone with plastic rather than Dacron for "Knocking
About" but also understand that's a personal matter.

Happy Sailing Nutsy. I'm envious!

I have a nearly new set if high tech sails for 1200 bucks, plus the guy
who runs the loft is sending me a lazy jack kit. Considering what I was
about to pay for a set of crosscut, I did pretty well. On top of that
some good business came out of it. Even if I decide I want a dacron
cruising tri-radial, it will only cost me about 1700 bucks. Places like
North and UK wanted 2500 for a crosscut! I'm probably getting a
asymetrical chute from them as well now.
It's been a win win win situation thus far.

Hey, Joe...you're talking to a guy who never owned a nice car in
Scotty. I also gave the Tribeca AWD to my father to use since we're
using the van full time now...so we don't even have an SUV in NY. You
can bet Scotty never gave his old man a 38K+ gift like that. I bet he
did give his old man quite a bit of shame though.

Let me know if you need some sails, Joe (not on here). I'll hook you
up. I just set up a 3rd boat (Tartan 33) with a tri-radial headsail and
new Furlex system. I'm looking at the Furlex myself.

Nope. The only way we'd broker that thing is by repo. I have a nicer
looking Santana 30/30 coming up for sale, but even that's too dated to
gather much interest. The Express 30 is a bargain boat for folks who
can only spend about 20K or so. As much as poor Sloco likes to pretend
he owns a baby Swan, his boat is little more than a faster Catalina 30
with an even worse interior. My C&C 32 was far nicer and still fun to
sail.
Dead weight finds it's own level.

LOL............... About 40 seconds a mile faster.
Oh and don't forget in some of those race results that were posted a

A total lie. I know of one that sold for 17K less than a month ago. If
someone paid 29.5K for one I'd sure like to laugh at him! Most of the
Express 30's on yachtworld sit forever. There's a genuinly nice one up
there now...the nicest I've seen.
On the other hand ALL of the 35s5's we were watching are now sold. The
three local to use all sold for more than we paid. Another 35s5 in NJ
sold for 69K.
I've just ordered a beautiful asym-chute for the 35s5! My cost? Nada!!!
Is 100% off a good deal, Sloco??? Is it better than your 50%?

As far as "sitting forever" goes the last one I saw for sale that
went for the asking price of $29.5K sold in a few weeks.
I sure don't know of every Express 30 that changes hands. Please
post the name and wherabouts of the Express 30 that sold for $17K. If
it's true I'll bet it was a 30M. I'll be waiting.
By the way the cheap 30M is faster than your boat. (grin)

Nope, and YOU said the last one that sold was for 29.5K, not the last

The last one you SAW, was probably not the last one to sell. Meanwhile
there have been several Express 30's sitting unwanted on Yachtworld for
more than a YEAR.

Why? I didn't notice. It was sold privately at Coney's Marine and I
knew about it because we co-brokered a Catalina 42 there.
Notice I didn't ask for your info on an Express sale? That's cuz I
could care less. If someone was dumb enough to spend near 30K on a
Depress 30....well, it's their money to waste.
Tell us, Sloco? Is your Express-o-Saurus 30 one of the models with an
enclosed head aft? Got any pics of her for the group to admire? If
you'd just stop your jealous crying and appreciate and share what you
