Re: [Cal_Boats] Sail Selection

I'd agree with getting a new #2 cut. You probably won't notice much of a change in boat speed anyway until the wind drops below 7kts or so. Paul In a message dated 12/9/2009 11:11:57 P.M.

I believe that cutting a 150 down to 135 is not the best way to go yes it can be but what will you end up with. 135 is normaly a heavier oz sail than a 150 plus the broadseam curve is different/ Just my opinion.

I am a day sailor primarily, and my spouse does not like to go out in heavy wind. My brother does, and we have had some fun sails. I am getting older, and a #2 would probably serve me well as an all-purpose headsail. They say that we have primarily light winds here, but I don't know when they are measuring. I have to reef plenty of times. My 29 likes to mostly sail on it's feet. My #1 can be recut and probably give me another 7 years, for about $800 or I can sell it on e-bay for maybe $500 and buy a new #2 for about 2k. Remember, I only sail 5 months a year so my sails have a long life. I'm undecided right now, leaning toward re-cutting my sail. Thanks, David Dobbs, Cal 29 411
