[Public-list] headsail

[Gordon White]

  When I converted to roller furling in 1991 I had my existing 140% 
genny converted for some modest charge like $125, including putting 
anti-ultraviolet tape on the leech. The shape may not have been as nice 
as a new sail, but it was not bad, in fact we probably sailed on the 
genny alone half the time we were out. If we raced I'd feel differently, 
but  for the cost difference, I never missed the better sail. I replaced 
the genny last year and don't see that much difference  between the old 
one and the new, high-priced sail, other than the fact that the new one 
is a little stiffer and certainly not worn out.
