Okay this is going to sound like a dorky question but I bought a new mainsail that is loose footed? All the mains that I have ever had attached to the boom with a rope the length of the foot. My new one has a slide on the end and that is it. I assume that for lighter wind I ease up on the outhaul and when the wind pipes up I tighten the outhaul. Also it has 3 full length battens that are held in the pockets with a 6 inch nylon tab that has velcro on one side. It seems to be a very nice sail but new technology to me. Any advice from the group? >>> timothy nathan <timothy_nat...@yahoo.com> 6/1/2010 5:52 AM >>>   When you get it installed. Take a few pictures.  I for one would love to see what it looks like. --- On Tue, 6/1/10, hd18thc...@aol.com <hd18thc...@aol.com> wrote: From: hd18thc...@aol.com <hd18thc...@aol.com> Subject: [IC27A] Re: Bimini Suggestions To: ic...@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, June 1, 2010, 7:42 AM   I just ordered a Taylor bimini. It will mount on the deck of my '77 and extend from the cabin to about 6" short of the mainsheet (aft mounted mainsheet -  would have been easier with a cabin mounted traveler)). In Theory, it should work fine, I'll let you know in about a week.   Price was very good $219 for a 6' long, 54"high and 87" wide in Hunter green to match my boat and canvas, including boot..   Check Ebay. The guy I bought it from is in Tampa (the bimini ships from NY) his email is teet...@verizon. net.
