[Alberg30] New Main Sail

[Larry Morris]

David,

Full Battens is the only main I would buy.  And I race actively on the
Chesapeake.   The Chesapeake Bay A30 Association Yearbook has all
specifications to give you a starting point.  I would not go with a
heavier cloth than recommended in the yearbook.  As for sailmakers.  I
grew up in Commerce, MI.  I purchased a number of sails from Boston
Sails in Mt. Clemens, MI.  Their workmanship is excellent and they have
great service.  Give them an opportunity to quote.

The time has come to get a new main sail for Talisman. I would like the
work to be done locally in Traverse City -  so my question is - what
things do I have to watch out for so that the sail comes out "just
right"? Any suggestion about sail cloth? One sailmaker suggest Contender
made by a Dutch company. Another suggests Challenge? Any opinions on
either of these? I am also planning on putting on a Strong Slide System.
Racing is not going to be my thing so I am planning on full battens
throughout and two reefs - opinions and suggestions will be appreciated
on all these ideas.

Thanks for the help.
