[C320-list] New sails advice sought

[Kirk McCullough]

I got rid of the Dutchman systems 5 or 6 years ago. Also on my last boat a
Newport 28 I had a loose footed, full battened main and I agree, much better
sail shape, easier to trim etc.

I went for loose footed main at Xmas time  (the middle of our summer)  and
I've been absolutely delighted with it . The sail shape is better and I
definitely getting more speed out of the boat. I think the wind strengh is
not relevant to the decision. I got rid of the dutchman system abour 3 years
ago much to my sailmakers delight.
