[C320-list] Mainsail Upgrade for my c320

[sailorlew at aol.com]

 Mike,
 The most important thing when buying new sails is to know the quality of the material being used. Performance Cruise Dacron may sound very racy, but in reality is the lowest quality Dacron & will not take a long time to stretch out. It is worth more in the long run to pay a little more for a better material that will last longer.
 Here is an article that will educate you.

Maybe she'll let me sail it if I behave.  :)

"Woodbine III" ...hmm...  I'm thinking "Amanda's Tuition"  :)

Jeff,
I can't believe Michelle is making you look at a bigger boat with in-mast
furling! How cruel!!!!

Woodbine lll ????

>> Hi all,
>> My Main is original on my '97 C320. While it is not shabby, it is baggy
and stretched. I was considering replacing it this year and when I mentioned
it to a fellow sailor (Hunter owner), he said I should consider doing away
with the full battened Main. Has anyone replace their Main with a more
traditional, non-battened main?
