Hi folks,
I've received a dozen or more inquiries, so I'm sending this info on
genny prices out to the whole group. I apologize for the mass mailing, but I
can't answer the emails quickly enough.
If you're interested in the Fleet purchase, please contact me and I'll
send you the forms for measuring your boat and the technical descriptions of
the cloths.
Fair winds,

Hi folks,
I have been working with the regional manager at Hyde Sails
North America for several days to put together a "Fleet Program" for the
Catalina 27 Fleet and IC27A members.
If you are looking for a cruising, club racer genny or racer
155%, email me directly and I will send you the information.
The sail prices are discounted like a bulk purchase by a large
teaching fleet -- but they use high-sail cloth and include have all the
features normally found only in high-end custom sails.
The genoas in this Program will save you 15-30% compared to
other "name-brand" internet lofts. Plus these sails have more high-end
features and high-end sailcloths.
The two cut-off dates for deposits are August 31 and Sept 15th.
Those are the days you'll need to put down a 50% deposit and send in your
measurement forms. Hyde Sails will do a special run at the loft in the
Philippines and consolidate shipping by boat to the USA to keep costs down.
Cruisers, club racers and full-on racers want different things
from their sails. In each category, Hyde's regional manager selected the
sailcloth that will give the best performance for the best price possible. And
then he loaded the sails with every high-end feature you could possibly ask
for.
The sailcloths were specifically matched to the C27's heavy
weight for her size. The C27's displacement is closer to modern boats 30' and
longer. That means you need stronger sailcloth for a C27 than other 27 footers.
The C27 genoas are low aspect sails, whereas the jibs and
mainsails are high aspect. You need to use sailcloth that is constructed
differently for a mainsail than a genny if you want the sail to hold its shape.

Contact me directly for more information.

PS. Next, we will develop a Fleet Program for C27 mainsails
and 110% jibs. That may take a week or two.
The mains and jibs are higher aspect sails than genoas and need
different cloths. Hyde stocks hundreds of different sailcloths in various
weights from all major manufacturers -- and it takes a bit of work to find the
right sailcloth that will provide top-notch performance at the lowest price for
the C27.
