you are a lucky man to have a new, stiff sail!
it'll get flaccid soon enough...er....well....that's enough about that.
btw, the AC Boats (heads-up: on Versus Saturday morning) get approx 60
tacks on a sail
before they trash-bin it.

still stiff (from yardwork)

I bought a new 6 oz 135 from one of the internet sail providers and
used it for the first time Saturday. Size is right, sets well, enjoyed
sailing with it, at least while it was up. But I have to say it is the
most unmanagable thing I've ever used. The material is extremely hard
and stiff. Might as well be thin sheet plastic. Trying to fold it and
get it back into a bag was quite difficult, and certainly not a thing
I could do by myself.
I don't have a whole lot of experience with brand new sails. Will this
thing soften up and become more managable over time, or did I just
make a lousy purchase?
