Hi All

The sail was designed by my boss at the time, Frank Hammond, on prosail software, I haven't worked at Horizon for quite a few years, but we made two, the first was too full for me, and I gave it to a good friend of mine, Matt Kelly, who now runs Victorian Sailing Supplies, I don't think he has it anymore though. The second, this one, was much better than the first and made from a better material, which the actual name I can't remember. It was cut to suit me sailing cat, I was about 80 kilos at the time, maybe a bit less, if anything it could have had a little more luff curve, but it made my old mossie move along quite nicely. The sail uses 6 battens, I had seen, I think an irwin with 5, but we decided that 6 was the way to go. Off the subject a little, but at around the same time we made a couple of A Class mains, which I passed around at a few regattas with quite good results. I have always intended to use this main again and drag out the old mossie or perhaps build another, but we haven't got a drop of water here (and I'm not exaggerating) and the next closest clubs don't have any mossies. I'm in southwest victoria, Derrinallum (where??? I hear you ask!)
Anyway I'm not saying this is greatest sail or design in the world (although maybe I should have??) but its probably worth looking at if you don't want to buy new or want a VGC secondhand main.

Cheers

Matt
