We are in 4 foot swells often. Expect to go slow and get bounced around. What are you sailing?

am willing to accept that challenge . Thats funny. Looks like the Bravos ancestor

Merry Christmas to all. Hopefully Santa was able to fit the DNA foiler down the chimney!!!

Great sketch Lars!

Great info, and the bending jig picture was super helpful. I could likely do that. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. The Tornado had a classic rig and is being converted. We got a sguare top main this season, and a spin set up. The spin isn...

Does the fold at the third batten work with newer non dacron sails?

MN3, great info. I have lots of sails indoors too. That may be a topic for another thread.

The latest attempt was bottom up. I have tried top down without folds. Will try the folds suggested. Do you wind the bolt rope in a spiral with rop...
