Chuck,
No Ron did not put me up to it. Funny how small the sailing world is. He is a
great guy btw. I have known him for humm... Wow since 1988 when I got my first
"big " sail boat (28 Columbia ).
I have raced many times with him over the years. Really knows his stuff.
Actually he sold C&C boats before I knew him!
I am going with 3DL for a 155% ,replacing a previous north sail,this time
with taffeta on one side to hold up better. They have great discounts on 3DL
till mar 1st. I am also ordering a #2 (135%) just haven't decided on material.
Might just go with a norlam material . Its about a 1k difference and I don't
think a performance difference I will notice.
Mainsails... My boat's sail plan has a tall skinny main which was the
design of the time. I believe the 34R is similar as well. Ron's advice, when he
designed my main, was to go with norlam. He felt the main does not really drive
the boat and 3DL would just be overkill. After 5 seasons , the main still
performs well,held its shape, and looks good. Now if you had your mind set on
3DL don't let me sway your decision. I had a 3DL on my Pearson 30 and loved it.
The nice part of the norlam is its easier to flake on the boom. Or should
I say I'm easier on my crew with the norlam at flaking time!
Chuck, feel free to drop my name to Ron when you speak again. I look
forward to seeing you in AC. Also my club Metedeconk River YC is on board this
year to help sponsor . Also my good friend Jim Walsh will be PRO. He runs a
great race!
