Will do. I'll post pics when I have it installed, probably end of next week. As to the loose footed sail question. I bought a used sail that turned out to be loose footed when I got it. Battens are normal sized. We were out in a blow on Saturday and she flattened us nicely when the outhaul was hauled tight. Also has a cunningham cringle for additional flattness.

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. Phone 813 2401617 Nice guy, sounds reputable and fully guarantees all his sales.

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...@timothy_n_ (mailto:[email protected]) > 6/1/2010 5:52 AM >>> When you get it installed. Take a few pictures.
