A Good Sail Maker is a Good Friend

New sail, actually a hand-me-down cut and resewn to specs provided by the UK rep who sold me the new genoa and my other "advisor" ... ;)

Granted my trim isn't exact, but for all practical purposes, I have a new boat. :)

Aye - I'll be looking to Rick when it comes time for Sarah's new clothes. If nothing else I hope to be able to look to him for the "Concordia" touch on the analysis I'll be getting. My folks down here are a little on the high-tech side.

I used to scoff at the boats that had their own sail maker aboard but even I had to admit those boats were the ones that consistently finished in the silver.

That being said, whether you're racing or cruising, the value of someone coming out, sailing your boat with you, listening to your goals, and then correlating that into a new sail or sail(s) is pretty well demonstrated by the pictures above.

Margo.. this is just a thought.. Ask Rick whether the club foot I had made.. he has the measurements.. and the asymeterical I have.. ( he is also familiar with it ) new, never been used will work for Sarah...
I still have the old club foot and if the IYRS wants or accepts uncas.. they don't need two new sails... I mean really.... why give them two new sails...

[Concordia...41]

Will do, and whether they'll work or not, thank you for thinking about us.

Oh and you'll get the auto pilot.. If I decide on the schooner.. well, IF I decide to go that route.. its got a wheel.. not a tiller...
Again, why give it to the IYRS....
Now the GPS goes with me.. :)

personally I think the sails might work. At least our respective masts were/are the same height.. not sure about the club foot bit....
