[alberg30] Sail Cloth Weight and sizes

[Christopher Sousa]

Bill,

When I purchased a main for #114 it was recommended not to use a full batten
with sail track. If you try to drop the sail when not headed up I understand
you can deform the track (per the sail maker). I was lucky and purchased a
used main from Harry Gamber which full battens on the top and modified on
the remaining three battens. I have been using that sail for three years
without any issues. On fabric weights and J measurements all my sails are on
the boat, but a good sail maker could give you excellent advise.

Regards,
Stephen
