First look at my new Ullmans,
Main -Navigator Dacron
Headsail -115% tri-axis laminate construction
Spinnaker- ebay special, North asymmetrical with "interesting" color scheme. The blue stripe sealed the deal as the #'s I needed were there and the chute is like new at 1/3 the cost. As it was local it was a no brainer to run it up the rig. And that is how Syntonos ended up with a pink chute.
First Impressions:
Reducing sail size was the correct thing to do. The sail plan is straight out of the Yamaha manual with Ullman cuts.The boat now feels right and performs well with present rig tune.
The previous sail plan was a log leech main (IOR era) encroaching on the cockpit. and the 135% deck sweeper genoa. the boat was always overpowered. Now the boat is quick to accelerate, points well and performs like I knew she can.
A classic example of less is more.
Cheers, Happy Sailing
