Dude...turn that thing down a shade or two!! My eyes are burning!

Hey JW, if he yells "Protest" does he also need to fly a Red Flag?? Or does he just point up at his new sail??

WOW!!! I'm at a loss for words.

Can you say OCS? Just hang near and they'll flag the "Chinese junk" first (LOL)!!!

Anything special about the mainsail cut? Top looks reduced to many of the the double handed Goodall's. Maybe its the darker color having an illusion.

White jib? I spy a red spin.

Enjoy!

Pretty sure that is the AHPC uni cut for single-handers.

Yep, singlehand cut. It is significantly flatter, and a big improvement when sailing uni over the sloop cut. I could never get a good shape out of my last sail when one up. When over powered you just had to sheet out and foot.

Orange spinnaker.

I put the numbers on the sloop main, just haven't gotten around to putting them on the uni sail.

What's the deal with the red cloth, was it your idea or Goodall's and did it cost extra? I really like it. Am I right in assuming its pentex with a red tinted UV layor instead of Smoke?

I think it is PE05 from Dimension Polyant - not positive.

I'm sailing sloop.

It's a faster sail when uni. Responds so much nicer to the lighter loads. I really, really like it.

Scarecrow- It was my idea, I had to order it specially. The cloth all costs the same, its just a different dye that is used.

That is pretty much it for F16's; One can use the sloop sail for some decent (recreational) uni sailing but the whole package becomes just right (as in uni-racing) when a specialized uni-sail is bought together with the sloop rigged boat. All the other hardware is fully interchangeable between both uses.

I'm saving up for my specialized uni sail !
