[C320-list] PHRF Racing Sails etc

Bruce,

So your pockets are attached directly to the foot of the sail? Thats interesting to. It might be a better way, as I have a little eaxtrs slack in the lines to not interfear with the sail shape. Although the dutchman still works great.

Jim,
Interesting on that your loose footed main Dutchman system uses the sail track.  
Mine does not and as long as you have any tension on the out haul and lift it 
works great.

Rick,


I got a new set of sails?4 years ago, and went with a loose footed main, I would 
highly recommend it.??I still have the ?Dutchman and it works fine. The sail 
maker or Dutchman made two pockets with the rope bolt in them. The are separate 
from the sail and slide into the boom track to act as the anchor points.

The sails were made by Quantum out of MD. Full batten Main, both the Jib and 
Main are Radial construction and used Pentax as the material.

I just started PHRF racing my c320 in Western Long Island sound. I was
wondering if anyone can give me some advise on cruising/racing sails they
may have upgraded to?

I got some quotes from doyle but I am unsure what to go with.  My main
questions have to do with the main

1. Loose footed or not?
2. Full battens or not?

I love and want to keep the dutchman and want to know if anyone has used it
on a loose footed main
