[Alberg30] New Sail 2

[Charles B. Currier]

I am biased as a Haarstick sail owner of a one season old suit.
But, there are many on hte bay who still to this day use 5, 7 , 10 year
old haarstick sails & steve Haarstick is committed to only the best
quality fabric.  On top of that the winner of the Annapolis Nood's this
year won on sails that had to be 20 years old (I don't think haarsticks
but dacorn nonetheless).

Also here is a link for Haarstick for their technical articles.
