Rita and I (and Bogart) went out for a short sail with the new sails. Not much wind, maybe 5 or 6 knots from the North. Got the boat going well between 4 and 5 knots.
New main has a much bigger roach, holds its shape well. It was hard to hoist all the way. Thing I might have to change the snap shackle on the halyard. Had to lowever the boom to get it to fit. The bolt rope luff is hard to hoist and douse. Will be very difficult to do single handed and/or in a blow. Maybe I should have got slugs instead of bolt rope.
