Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

Probably true, but it applies only provided that there is a local sail loft in your area and that they would be willing to come to your boat. I tried to deal with Doyle, who claim that they have a local representation and nobody was willing to come to the boat and the sail would not be made loca

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

In my area, a few of us subscribe to a laminate headsail/Dacron main philosophy. Seems to work pretty well. I think for the older C&C's, it's particularly viable since the boats are primarily head sail driven. Touche's racing main is a 1 full + 3 partial batten, loose footed, triradial square we

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

Iv'e got two headsails from Rolly Tasker dealing with the factory in Thailand now and I'm very happy with both. I got the "offshore cruising" sails. So I didn't get their cheapest. Local lofts wanted twice. I'm of the opinion that a sailboat owner needs to do as much of their own work aboard their

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

I have a 3Di 155% genoa which has survived three years of racing. The previous 3Dr ( yes "r" ) lasted 6 weeks, and the replacement 3DL accumulated $1,200 in repairs by the end of the second summer. The 3Di has had some minor winter sail care, edges done due to lifeline or stanchion chafe. I suspe

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

I think the knowledge and service of a local sail loft is invaluable. They come to your boat and take measurements. Ask questions and help design a custom sail to fit your needs. I only have Quantum in my area so... I have Quantum sails. They are responsive and provide the personal service I'm

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

You should talk to Doyle Boston Sailmakers in Sarnia. They have done a lot of work for me over the years, including re-cutting and re-sizing, as well as a brand new Dacron genoa. Not the cheapest option for new sails, but they are the go-to guys for the racers around here and they just might b

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

Dave, usually the coastal cruising sails are good enough for recreational sailing (one would hope that you are not planning to sail regularly in 40+ kt winds). This way you can select lighter cloth – the sail will be lighter and cheaper. I would, certainly, specify two reef points and “ring–on-

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

I've now researched and purchased sails for my last 2 boats. Main and head for the Viking 33 and head sail for the new boat. I've come to the conclusion that you can get good sails from Rolly (or any other mail order sail loft) if you don't buy their cheapest sail. The head sail on my current

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

I pretty much agree with Joel for the features on this one. Having had experience with both high-tech laminates(2) and dacron (2) in the past 20+ years, I would go with the dacron option as well. The high tech stuff will keep its shape until it doesn’t, and then it delaminates – and you have n

Re: Stus-List AIS VHF

My AIS antenna is about 8-9 feet above water level. It works OK, but my max range I have ever seen on that one is maybe 10-12 miles for Class A and maybe 3 for Class B. If I rewire it to the masthead I have seen over 50 mile range to Class A targets. Speaking of which, if cash is no issue Class

Re: Stus-List AIS VHF

Ed, You are correct that it only needs to be 3 meters above the water under ISAF. As with a VHF, height = range. I use and AIS dongle with my spare antenna on deck. Range is only a couple miles.​ Even if you are a cruiser, the ISAF requirements are worth considering. Joel On Wed, Oct 12, 2016

Re: Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

Dave, 50 sailors will have 100 opinions on this one! I would go with a high quality Dacron cross-cut with at least 2 full battens, a loose foot, 2 reef point points. Their Coastal Cruising sail sounds like a good fit for you. The cunningham is important for controlling luff tension. Much easier

Stus-List Mainsail replacement considerations

Just received the results from the fall check-up and the local sail loft has diagnosed Windstar's ('85 33-2) mainsail as "beyond expired". Cue the Monty Python... The current main has two sets of reef points, (cringle at the leech and and ring-on-webbing-straps at the luff.) No telltales other t
