Tom, Thanks for the pics of your new sails. Now I miss the nekked pics in the new format Playboy mags a little less.
Congrats on the upgrade to carbon fiber tapes.

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<http://www.uksails.ca/> if anyone is interested. And if you want to check out the sails, there are some good pics here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/37365243@N00/ I cannot wait to take them out for a spin....woohoo!
