A new mainsail

Here is a pic of the mainsail I bought from Bacon sails. This pic was taken before the recent work was done including all new batten pockets and various reinforcements.  I had basically just hoisted it here to check the fit and shape and make sure I wanted to spend the money on the repairs.  Overall, it will be a good sail for many years at a cost of about 1/4 a custom new sail.  Still slightly smaller than drawn by Richard in area, but over 100 sq feet bigger than the other sail.  

Time on the water.

Still managed a dozen or so family days on the water. New mainsail should be back from sail loft tomorrow.

A busy summer!

So many projects, so little sailing!
