[Alberg30] Twin Headstays

[Roger L. Kingsland]

Don;

I seem to recall $5 to $6 / ft in Annapolis plus more for the UV protection
at leach and foot.  I am meeting with a local sailmaker who used to work at
the North Miami office.  We are going to go over my entire sail inventory
(actually having my own, personal sail inventory makes me feel very
important) and I will ask him about costs then.

Related question.  In my extensive inventory, I have a sail that looks like
half a bra, all be it a very large bra.  It has a triangular  frame about
the size of a small head sail made up of Dacron strips about 1-1/2" wide but
only the lower half has sail cloth inside the frame.

The material is light weight like a light air spinnaker.  The only thing I
can think of is it is suppose to fly below the spinnaker in light air.  Has
anyone seen such a thing?  I can't imagine it would be class legal.

Roger
