[Alberg30] New Sail 2

[Dave Terrell]

Thanks - I am sure that it is not class legal for racing. I do not 
intend to race the boat except maybe in PHRF and that is unlikely. While
I do not intend to sell the boat, I know it always important to think of
the next owner when one makes changes. 

the question is and I  think many people could give me some insight, if
I get dacron sails from Haarstick, for example, how long will they
likely retain their shape. I would like to purchase a set of sails that
will really last and vectran will do this but not inexpensively. Any
thoughts would be much appreciated? I know we have a lot of experience
with this issue. any input will help me sort this question out.

Dave,

Beware Vectran may not be class legal for one design racing.  I think
Dacron is still your best bet for a boat this size.

two things

1. I just talked with Doug at Haarstick and  he told me that the
strong
system is made for internal as well as external mast tracks.
Haarstick's
approach to quality control and quote are impressive.

2. a question: has anyone in our group purchased vectran sails from 
Hood Sails? Practical Sailor said some very interesting things about
them in their current edition - hence the question.

I am eager to hear what experiences any of us may have had with Hood
sails.
