[C320-list] Foresail

[John Morrison]

Hey Ted. I replaced my headsail with a Hood Vectron 150. For Ur ⛵️ grounds on Lake ON, where we have a lot of light wind days the 150 is suitable. The sail has a foam luff which helps the sail keep shape on furling. The 150 is a powerful sail and if U wait until wind is over 10kts U’ll have trouble furling. So the universal rule “furl early”!!
