Stuart Dahlgren from UK Sails NW showed up with my new sails
yesterday. But they were NOT what I ordered!
I ordered the UK Tape Drive with the Glass Fiber tapes. Well it
turns out that when they were engineering the sails it was determined
that the load levels would be near the upper edge of the Glass
Fibers. So, Stuart took it upon himself to upgrade the sails to the
Carbon Fiber tapes at no extra charge. It was a pleasant surprise
when I peeked in the bags. Definitely not what I ordered, but I am
not complaining.
Stuart Dahlgren took the time to hand deliver them and handled the
installation, including making sure that the mainsail was all good
for our Schaefer in-boom furling. He trimmed the battens as well for
a perfect fit. Then he hung out at our club to BS with a few
sailors. Since it was too late for him to drive home to Sidney, we
invited him to stay over for dinner and an evening of Scotch and
sailing talk. Then a quick breakfast this morning before taking off today.
I cannot recommend this guy enough. www.UKSails.ca if anyone is interested.
And if you want to check out the sails, there are some good pics here
