Maybe we should combine our orders, I'll be looking for a new main this winter
for our '85 33-2. Have dealt with Spike here at Doyle Boston, and am happy with
what we got. He's "very" local and an active part of our race program here in
Sarnia.

In my area, a few of us subscribe to a laminate headsail/Dacron main

particularly viable since the boats are primarily head sail driven.

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
they are usually very competitively priced. Opinions vary. I am pretty happy

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.

Dave,

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
Just received the results from the fall check-up and the local sail
loft has diagnosed Windstar's ('85 33-2) mainsail as "beyond

The current main has two sets of reef points, (cringle at the leech and and
ring-on-webbing-straps at the luff.)
