Posts: 1,304 Gulf Coast relocated from Cali... | I wonder if this means the N20 sails for the US boats are comming from Performance sails now. I think the Nacra class sails may have been made in China for E/P because the custom order sails I have bought for other boats were TOP quality. Lately it's been a crap shoot when it came to the quality of our class legal sails from them. I hate to mention any of this since Skip has allways gone the extra mile for me. The new alluminum mast boat in SD has Performance Sails, so we should be able to get them as well for our carbon sticks like the Europeans have been. In 07 when Mischa won the Tybee, he was running a Performance chute, then shortly after, the Nacra North American class rules clearly stated we couldn't run them. Now it dosen't say anything about it. Interesting to see what will happen. I hope I can legally run a lower aspect Performance chute for those power reaching runs up the coast.

I think that's pretty much the case. EP is no longer making the 20 or F18 Nacra factory sails.

I really mistyped that. I meant to say that it also appeared to me that they aren't making the sails based on the liquidation through EP and seeing the transition to Europe. That said - Bob, you would be the guy in the know!
