The trick with that is now your clew is higher, meaning your car must move back to keep the same sheeting angle. In your picture, your car is WAY too forward for good trim.
Ordered a new main sail today
- Thread starter rgranger
- Start date
Gary is who I have been emailing. So far the experience has been very professional. And the temp was nearly 70 today... ahhhhh I have no sail. So I did a few jobs on my trailer instead. Just made me want it even more. Gary told me 4 to 6 weeks. Uhg.
I love reading all the comments on this forum. I learn a lot.
"extra crispy", Bacon sails. I caught that double entendre !
You are going with bolt rope and not slugs on the luff or am I reading this wrong? Are they adding any tell tails? Lettering?

Talked to Bacon Sail today (Gary). All is good. They wanted the measurements just to make sure they were looking at the correct rig configuration before they built my new sail.
He told me "4 weeks". So March 27th .....
I'll be cruising in style this April.

Bacon emailed and said my new main should arrive at my door step by Saturday.
Ron... Next time I'm heading to Annapolis, I'll get in touch.

I like Bacon Sails and Gary was very helpful, I'm glad I made the trip over for both sails.
