[Public-list] Have you used a Star mainsail?

[Randy Katz]

Greetings--
    I've recently searched Bacon Sails for a used main for the boat.  They
have dozens of Star mains (about the same size).  M ost are $under 400.
There's one Alberb main listed (new) for $1100.
    
    Has anyone bought and modified one of the Star mains for our boats?  I
know some modifications would be expected:
    *  The tack set-back would be needed on my boat
    *  Reef points have to be added
    *  other things?

    Is it practical to take on one of these sails given the modifications
that would be required?  Any opinions?

Many thanks,
