It will flatten out when you hoist and sail awhile with it. Just raise the sail in your slip when there is no wind to inspect it or ask to borrow the local public school's flag pole on the weekend..seriously... ----- Reply message ----- From: "Robert Libbert" <rl… [at] yahoo.com> To: "Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com" <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> Subject: [Cal_Boats] Sail Question Date: Mon, Oct 8, 2012 9:59 AM All, Thanks in advance for advice. My T/2 cam with two mains. I was out sailing today and noted how bad the current main was, but assumed the one in the bag at the house would be even worse off, after all why else would it not be on the boat? So I took it out an lo and behold it seems much better than the old main. No discoloration, etc. However it's -very- stiff (but no cracking) and it looks like it was just stuffed in the bag so it's very, very wrinkled. Two questions: 1. How can I further gauge it's condition without putting it on the boat? 2. Is there a good way to de-wrinkle, or will the wrinkles come out after I sail with it a few times? Thanks, Rob

Why would you not bend it on and sail with it? The wrinkles will come out!
