RE: catalina27-talk: New Main

[Robert Mann]

Mark,   I love my Rolly Tasker main.  I bought it in time for 2000 season and I think it still looks great.  I went with full battens and loose foot.  If they offer it, I would try full battens only on the top two.   I paid $850 for my main in 2000.  It’s a 6oz, Dacron, loose foot, with leech lines, flow stripes, tell tales, two reefs, Cunningham, off-shore quality, Catalina insignia and numbers.  I purchased it through Island Sails, (islandsails.com), in BC, Canada.  The sails are pictured on my home page, http://mywebpages.comcast.net/sailrmann.   Bob Mann   -----Original Message----- From: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Tamblyn Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 9:26 AM To: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com Subject: catalina27-talk: New Main     I’m looking to replace my main sail. My old sail is shelf footed, 4 regular battens, two reefs. I’m looking at the prices at National Sail Supply and thinking this winter I’ll get a new sail in time for spring. For a good price and a sail I’ll be happy with for cruising the Chesapeake where should I also be looking?   The question is. Are there any deals to be had? Sail lofts no doubt have a season and prices no doubt fluctuate or delivery times. What have others thought of their Rolly Tasker main? Should I get full battens, loose foot. I like having two reefs so I’ll be looking for that but it’s no big deal to add another reef.   Is anyone in the Annapolis racing fleet looking to sell their main. When in the season might that happen so I know when to ask?   Has any unfortunate soul lost their boat in a hurricane and has a good main in the attic?   Mark Tamblyn 1976 C27 Josephine Gloucester Point VA
