New rags!

Some of you might know that I sail a bit. A couple of weeks ago the new sails arrived for my Ranger 22. North 3DL one piece moulded membrane mylar/kevlar. The boat is a rocket upwind now. So far in our Spring series this year we're 3 club races, 3 bullets (that's first place for you landlubbers ) We're looking forward to this season.

It sure is a high tech world nowadays.

There is, of course, a downside. I could have put a healthy down payment on a spiffy new YuckMaster II for what these suckers cost!

I have to admit, I know nothing about sailing (except to stay away from sailboats ). Thanks for the info, Al - very interesting, to be sure!
