main sails

Post by atles »

HI all,
well it time for a new main sail so i got a few quote and yes Dacron was one of them
but well i am going to go with the newer type of sail that right LAMINATED SAILCLOTH :o
not the black Kevlar but a see through white with a lovely cross pattern . it will make her look so elegant :)
full batons not half batons as i have now
it will give it a more fuller sail shape . will post as it will take 6 weeks to make :cry:

sorry i fell in love with my boat
she calls to me to give her a pretty dress how can i say no !!

Atles, the Investigator was always ahead of its time, most people who see mine who are not sailors think its a younger boat than it is because of its nice lines. The modern style sail will not look out of place.

I get the same comments when I am tied up at our ramp, no one ever thinks its a 30 yr old boat. Of course we care for them in many ways but well worth it. Yes a lovely boat in every way.

:P my new Quantum main sail is sooo near to being finished

they are not racing sails
but a cross between cruising and racing like i said i needed to keep her looking elegant
so i am keeping with the white sail theme you would see with Dacron
