Its is a lot easier to make a change to a Maxx or Flex sail than a radial sail. The Seams are located at the batten pockets and all you have to do is split the seam at the pocket, make the change and stick it back together. [/quote]

Sorry macca,

Here's a little insight on how difficult it is to change the panel shaping of the cross-cut Flex or Maxx cloth sails.

Since they are GLUED then stitched, the panels are "locked" resulting in a sail that cannot be unstitched to tuck/tighten the leech. The radial in this effect is easier to tune because you are tightening the horizontal joining seams, not the radials. The 3M glue sailmakers are currently using does not allow for the seam to come apart.

For everyone's education,
