but those sails were from 3 different sailmakers!

Thanks Chip, that's hugely informative. I'm sure there's lotsa guys appreciating your input as much as I do.

Agreed... it is great data Chip has provided, and wonderful to hear an insiders perspective (as mentioned above)

Calvert sent me a prototype sail for the Wave Nationals that was built in that manner, but it arrived too late for testing. I did use it a couple of times in our series races.

Seems to have a lot of potential. Meanwhile, Calvert is now writing an article on the subject that will be in an upcoming issue of the magazine we publish -- Catamaran Sailor Magazine.
Oh, Yes! We do publish a real, sitdown on the john and read, hard paper magazine that we put out almost monthly (9 issues a year, around 50 pages)
If you have enjoyed these Forums, you will really enjoy the magazine (little advertising here for the home field)
