Please explain reasons for choosing Quantum 8.4 Challenge cross cut? There are so many choices, and sails are an expensive, long term investment.

He is a great guy btw. I have known him for humm... Wow since 1988 when I got my first "big " sail boat (28 Columbia ). I have raced many times with him over the years. Really knows his stuff. Actually he sold C&C boats before I knew him! I am going with 3DL for a 155% ,replacing a previous north sail,this time with taffeta on one side to hold up better. They have great discounts on 3DL till mar 1st. I am also ordering a #2 (135%) just haven't decided on material. Might just go with a norlam material . Its about a 1k difference and I don't think a performance difference I will notice. Mainsails... My boat's sail plan has a tall skinny main which was the design of the time. I believe the 34R is similar as well. Ron's advice, when he designed my main, was to go with norlam. He felt the main does not really drive the boat and 3DL would just be overkill. After 5 seasons , the main still performs well,held its shape, and looks good. Now if you had your mind set on 3DL don't let me sway your decision. I had a 3DL on my Pearson 30 and loved it. The nice part of the norlam is its easier to flake on the boom. Or should I say I'm easier on my crew with the norlam at flaking time! Chuck, feel free to drop my name to Ron when you speak again. I look forward to seeing you in AC. Also my club Metedeconk River YC is on board this year to help sponsor . Also my good friend Jim Walsh will be PRO. He runs a great race!

And luckily here on Lake Champlain in Vermont you can put a mooring in wherever you want for free. It's regulated by your access, so our mooring is in Converse Bay in Charlotte, which has a state fishing/boating access ramp. We're allowed to park in the lot overnight, and we have their one dock to tie up the dinghy when we need to. Moslt of our sailing friends that aren't near us or in the 2 nearby marinas moor at Kingsland Bay state park where they're allowed to keep their dinghies on shore at the park.

I'm fairly sure the cost of maintaining, improving, slipping and hauling my boat annually is about equivalent to one person on one decent cruise (incl airfare). BTW John, what is your hull#. Mine is #442.

The dogs pee while you get the morning paper and some coffee from the coffee shop. Heading back out to the mooring field with the morning sun flooding the anchorage with an orange glow you gently climb back aboard to surprise your still sleeping wife with the treats from shore and think you wouldn?t be anywhere else for ANY amount of money. Or the sane people realize they could go on a cruise ship or other expensive vacation two or three times a year for what it costs to run the boat. So we the not-quite-right sail on and the sheeple get herded here and there on the latest discount tour to some tourist hell.
