Allen,
I see you’re thinking of a new sail too.
If your old, hank on sail is in good condition you might want to consider
having a luff tape installed on that.
But, if you’ve got the money, the best investment (by far) for your sailboat is
new sails.
I bought a new set of sails a few years after I bought the 26. I didn’t think
the old sails were that bad, but I was wrong. With new sails it was a different
boat. The 26 is a bit tender anyway, but with new sails she stood right up;
pointed better; went faster!
I’ve since bought a laminate 135% and that is even better.
(off topic - the next best investment is self tailers)

With much talk recently of the merits of a furling headsail, I have decided
to bite the bullet, install a new furler and have a new sail made for my 26.
Someone mentioned that they were quite pleased with their Superfurl. I seem
to get a different answer from each person I ask this question:
What is the best choice for a furler on a small boat?
