New North Sails on my Cal 29 sure makes it fast.

Hello fellow Cal owners. After 28 years we bought new sails for our Cal 3-29. Boy oh boy, new sails really make a difference. Last weekend we were out testing our new sails and came across my sailing neighbor of 27 years. He's got a Catalina 30. I was towing a dinghy and I just walked by him. I posted some pictures and 2 video clips shot from both boats. Take a look at my posting here... http://72.32.109.245/forum/viewtopic.php? t=5739&sid=945ea5665338f179a882f078b8617c8b And if that link doesn't work try these links Sparring in Puget Sound... Cal 29 & Catalina 30 There's nothing better than sailing on a sunny day and finding your friends on the water... catching up to them and exchanging some fun words and some great photo opportunities. Below are a series of pictures between both boats and 2 video clips between my boat - Chaconne, a Cal 3-29 and Seanshine's Carnaby Street, a Catalina 30. We've been boating neighbors for 27 years. http://i12.tinypic.com/674j4zq.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/6bxqz4n.jpg http://i19.tinypic.com/4mn2429.jpg http://i7.tinypic.com/4l3bztw.jpg http://i19.tinypic.com/52w3e3s.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/507ybkn.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/4vd8gwp.jpg http://i19.tinypic.com/4ze02ms.jpg http://i18.tinypic.com/4v46pft.jpg http://i19.tinypic.com/4vfj47m.jpg And 2 video clips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmpXt6iAB-A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-JNtl7CWfE By the way... anyone interesting in buying my mainsail, 150 and 90. They were made by Staff Sails in Bellingham Washinton in 1978. The sails still have some life in them. Gregg & Dannae Life is short... go sailing my friends!

Hi Randy, As a matter of fact, this is the first time I've had roller furling. The first time we unfurled the sail last weekend, my wife says to me "that's it... that's all we have to do?" So, to answer your question Randy, my old sails are hank ons.
