A comment in another thread prompted me to bring this question into a thread of its own.
<br>
<br>All of the cats I have sailed have been a few years old. I've never made the investment in new sails (just keep moving to "new" used boat). My current boat is a 1996 N6.0. I have no plans to change boats, yet am wondering if it's time to replace the sails, particularly the dacron jib.
<br>
<br>What do you look for when deciding whether a set of sails should be retired?
<br>
<br>(The question was promted in part by a comment in another thread suggesting that a "blown out" jib can hook the flow back into the main.)<br><br> Kevin Rose
