Re: catalina27-talk: New Main

[D.Hoy]

Mark, I have a good spare dacron mainsail, not used very much over the years .  It is slightly blown out.  I replaced it with a racing mainsail two years ago.  I've kept it around for a cruising main but no one wants to go cruising.  The problem would be trying to get it to you so you could look at it and try it out.  Doug Pope, sailmaker, surveyed it in 2001 and declared it to be good; and, I could get him to do it again if there is any interest.  I have no price on it.  Dave Hoy WYANOKEE #6295 Camden, Maine michael mcvey wrote: try this site www.BaconSails.com  Subject: catalina27-talk: New Main Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 09:26:17 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com   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 Express yourself with gadgets on Windows Live Spaces Try it!
