I just want to congratulate Doyle sails on being an excellent company to work with. Our 272 LE is 16 years old. It is not a fast boat, but rather an enjoyable boat. We were still using the old Neil Pryde main but finally made the decision to replace the old main with a new Doyle Stackpac main. Norm Cressey in Marblehead took the time to understand that we sail sometimes in pretty high winds here on the plains. We also wanted the cover to match the Gray hull. To make a long story short, the new sail w/fully battened main and stackpack, lazy jacks, etc. work like a dream. There has been a very noticeable increase in speed and convenience. No more dying on a 100 degree day putting the sail cover back on.....One zip and zippo...it's done. Our sail shape is not diminished at all. We should have done it sooner....Doyle will be creating my new headsail as well. Patrick Coulter
