Hi Tim i have my mainsail at the sail maker getting a few small tears repaired. He is actually the guy that made the sail a long time ago. The sail seemed very flat so he suggested that i soften the batterns. I'll Give this a go but im sure that if someone has a good second hand sail i would be interested. It was ok up wind but suffred down wind then that may be angles or driver error. Its a shame melborne is so far away. I was that close to making the trip for this weekend.It would be great just to check out what everyones doing.(ps if it was between a new main or a spiniker it wouldent be a hard choice! That would solve most of my down wind problems.
