once I get going on these things I don't stop really. My mom was up to help with the new baby so we trucked through the thing. Learning curve certainly- how to sew the long stitches (luff and leach tapes, zipper), what order to do things in, etc.
Looks good, and set it up, but have not sailed it yet. This sail seems a bit longer than the Calvert jib so I might end up with a slight problem with the tack interfering/abrading on the luff tensioning blocks. Also, looking at the comparison between the cloth on the calvert jib (heavy laminate) and the new jib 8.4oz dacron.... I am a little concerned about sailing with it in heavier winds (the construction will last, but not sure about the sail "blowing out. "
sorry for the poor quality.. these are with my phone because my wife's computer had to be sent back (has the card reader for the real camera)
