[Alberg30] Roger's Bra

[Gavin Morrice]

OK, enough emails regarding Roger's mystery thing!

Let's all settle on it being "Roger's Bra" for all future
references, and then leave it be ...
to go down in the history of the great Alberg30 public list
archives as yet another mystery...joining other greats such as ...
      "Taming the Alberg Demons of reverse gear.",
      "The beer effect on Alberg docking.",
and my favorite,
      "The Alberg boom is low and I know where it is,
       so why does it keep hitting me in the back of the head?"

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
