Yay! We finally have our sails back! Sunday brought dry weather and light winds- what an opportunity for a quick trip to try out the new sails. We headed south under the Bay bridge, toward the city, passed the ball field and then turned back. I was chilly and still getting over a cough so Krister practiced single handing while I cuddled under a down sleeping bag in the cockpit.
Our new main, so crisp and white, has three reef points, lazy jacks and is made of heavier sail cloth.
Our 135 genoa was refinished with pretty blue edge to protect it from UV rays while furled.
Beautiful! We gain almost 2 knots with the new main- feeling fast and safe.
