Well the weather doesn't seem to want to cooperate. I was hoping to seal the teak this weekend with Cetol Marine but it recommends an ambient temperature of 50 - 95f and we're stuck in the forties. I'm basically at a stalemate until the weather warms up since all my immediate projects require painting of some sort.
On Thursday however I decided to do my part to stimulate the economy and ordered a new main sail. I have been poking around the internet for months now looking looking at different sail lofts and finally decided to go with FX Sails. For $520 shipped I got a loose foot main with partial battens, sail number, insignia and the following specs:
Standard Features:
3-Year Warranty
Premium Stitching
Aluminum Headboard
Cunningham
Draft Stripes
Leech Line with Clamcleat
Webbed on Leech Telltales
Premium Fiberglass Battens
Sail Ties & Sail Bag
Cloth: Challenge 5.53 oz. Premium High Modulus Dacron
From the reviews I read they seem to build a quality sail, we'll just have to wait five weeks to see. The headsails seem to be in decent shape so I'll probably send them to SailCare to be inspected and cleaned.
