Definitely get a Cunningham so you can properly trim the main upwind in a
breeze. I here you on price. That $1500 sounds very reasonable!

$1500 is a third of what I paid for my main. Great price! My only concern
would be, do you have the knowledge to detect design or build flaws? If
you found flaws, what would your recourse be?

I did lots of sail research and I came to the same conclusion you did about
Rolly Tasker. However, I ended up going local on my last boat because they
offered a boat show discount which brought them much closer. I intended on
keeping that boat fur a long time and thought the higher quality wo
Oh one more thing, I'd recommend getting a price from precision. They'll help
make aye your measuring is within reason. They spent hours on the phone with
me for the replacement of that RT I was trelling you about. You can get an
online quote within hours. They'd give you 3 300, 400 & 500

Definitely ask for the Cunningham ring..it should be an easy
addition
AS far as the sail slugs goI strongly recommend looking at the Tides

original sail slot and the slugs are now polished stain
I purchased a Rolly Tasker 155% genoa a couple of years back, very happy
with the price and the sail.
To another poster's point, I don't have the experience to tell a design
flaw or poor design. All I know is that I can trim the sail very nicely,
that's good enough for me. I think I'de be in the sa
A friend got RT sail (135) about two years ago. It is quite OK for cruising,
BUT he had to replace the dacron sun-cover with Sunbrella and repair some of
the stitching. It cost him $800. The sail spent "all the time" on the furler
since we get to sail 12 months a year (SoCal).

That's a good point. Will you be able to sail 12 months a year?
Our sails spend almost 6 months a year in storage. I'm sure that proper stored
sails last longer just due to less exposure. Improper stored sails will
probably need replacing sooner than ones that remain on the boat all year.

Our sailing season is just starting, but even in the off season we’ll find days
to get out and take the boat for a spin. We’ve done a few sails already this
year. We have new sunbrella sail covers so the main will pretty much always be
dry and protected from the sun.

You get sun in Seattle? :^) I’ve been there a fair amount, usually either
in March/April or August, and I’ve actually seen the sun quite a lot. All of
Mount Rainier, too.
I’ve also been in contact with RT sails; they have been really pushing against
me getting a Dacron sun cover, preferrin
Quantum strongly recommends the Sunbrella sun cover too.

Quantum provides TEFLON coated sail slides--they are really slick and no need
for a Tides sail slide system!

An alternative to adding various sun covers on roller furled sails is to use a
sleeve from ATN or a local canvas shop. This one cover will provide protection
for ANY furled headsail so you need only add it once for the the boat. Probably
costs more initially than a sewn on cover but it protects

Not directly C&C but prior to my 27-5 I owned a Kirby designed DS-22. The
transom was cored, rotted and during the replacement process I determined the
reason to be from stainless screws which had gone through the aluminum cap rail
