But the nice thing about the black main is that when we meet friends out on the water we're easy to spot! Badly trimmed, backed or luffing sails of any color are always easily noticed. (As in, "Just look at THAT idiot!") Wilbur Hubbard I was sailing with a VERY famous sailor one day, and I tried to razz him about the slight backwinding of his main. He said that on that particular boat, the best speed at that point of sail was attained based more on the trim of the genoa, and if it bothered anyone, they could think of the deformity in the main as a "speed bubble". Doing anythng to reduce the bubble would slow the boat down. North Sails? |
