Stus-List Grenadine's New Asym

[Randy Stafford via CnC-List]

Listers, thanks for your advice on asym rigging and trimming.

I’ve posted a few shots of Grenadine’s new asym at 
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sUKe4DrBwEkG292kNgw3M2ewW4iW4Vfh?usp=sharing
 
.

The sail is by Point Sails in San Diego (https://www.pointsails.com/about.html 
).

Cheers,

I would highly recommend  3M Dual-Lock over Velcro for this use.   Dual-Lock is 
like Velcro on steroids.  From the data sheets for 3M Dual-Lock and 3M Hook and 
Loop,  Dual-Lock has a dynamic tensile disengagement of 60 lbs/in^2 whereas 
Hook and Look has a dynamic tensile disengagement of 9 lbs/in^2.

When I installed flexible solar panels on my bimini, I pretty much followed the 
SailRite instructions but used Dual-Lock w/VHB tape (comes with it) on the 
panels and sewed the matching Dual-Lock to the bimini panel flaps.   Works like 
a dream.

My canvas maker has sewn sunbrella tabs with fuzzy Velcro underneath on the 
bimini that run the length and width of the solar panel.  We were able to sew 
lengths of the toothed Velcro directly to the perimeter of the panels.  The 
tabs go over the outer edges of the panels, securing them in place on all 4 
sides. As such, my panels can be easily removed when the bimini top needs to be 
stowed away for weather events simply by peeling back the velcro.
