New Main

The used racing genoa I got from sailmaker Joe Waters from North Carolina is awesome.  Joe gave me a call to say that he also has a prototype laminate heavy #1 for sale also.  Not good for racing, but a good sail to have in the inventory.  He sold it to me for a very good price. 

He also talked about his newly re-designed racing main:
  • New Dimension carbon fiber Laminant 4.3oz
  • almost see through
  • 2 full battens (and 2 partial)
  • slab reef (shallower than standard)
  • flattening reef
  • cunningham
  • loose foot
  • bolt rope luff
  • leech/foot lines
  • sail numbers
  • C-22 class logo
Decided to order the sail, and have it delivered in a couple of weeks.  My old main is original (29 years old) is sooo bagged out, you have to reef really early.

So totally new sails for Still Time this season: main, light #1, and heavy #1. 

Think I'll keep her.
