Sail came with the boat that way...currently we run 3 patches, but our mid-pole Guck Skunk snuffer should be able to run a two patch sail. My newer sail has only 3 patches. My crew dislikes the effort required to snuff/hoist this newer sail. The word from the Tboat boat experts at the nationals in November was that newer/crispier sails are harder to snuff and that 3 patcher's do require more effort since the cloth bunches up into a larger diameter. My older sail is also Dynalite with silicon impregenated into the cloth...this seems to make a huge difference. Charlie Ogletree mentioned he doesn't like Dynalite though...doesn't hold its shape as well.

Mike.
