Re: Stus-List New Mainsail

[Randy Stafford via CnC-List]

Thanks Michael, it was a great way to start the season.  I was the only boat in 
the fleet to choose a pin-end port-tack start, and that was the difference.  
Though Rick and Larry almost closed the gap in their Ranger 26.

Cheers,
Randy

 Hello Listers,
Just as an FYI / data point, I bought a new mainsail for Grenadine this 
offseason.  I couldn’t justify the cost of a pure racing sail made of exotic 
material, so my criteria were a general-purpose durable high-performance sail 
of the right weight for the winds at Chatfield Reservoir.  I ended up with a 
sail made by Hyde Sails from 7.38 Challenge Premium Dacron Sailcloth - High 
Mass Fiber Weave (~7.1 oz).
The sail was measured, designed, and ordered by a guy (Trey Hegstrom) in my 
yacht club and marina who does that as a side gig.  A picture, and 
specifications, are at 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JdtqOpQx4VGs8yjkOC5xwUYJN_LUZrVb.  Cost me 
about $1,700.
And I’m hoping it’s a lucky charm, because we won the first race of the season 
last night by a country mile (mostly due to a good tactical decision at the 
start, I think).  Beat the fleet by some five minutes in a one-hour race.
Also I sent two of my headsails to Sailcare over the offseason, and was very 
pleased with that company and the results of their work on my sails.
