Price reduced... $750.00. This is less than half price for a brand new sail, still in the bag and never used.

The sail is still available. This sail has a wire luff and no hanks. You can fly it with a spinaker halyard or the jib halyard if you are using hank on sails. We had a furling jib, but it will work eather way. A beautifull sail with blue and yellow star burst pattern and never used. We are selling i...

still available. will try to post pic's soon.

We have a 150% drifter, Blue and Yellow with a star burst pattern that we have never used and still in the bag from the sail maker "Schurr sails in Pensacola Fl."
We paid $1600.00 and are asking $800.00 plus shipping.

Our CD30 Ketch "Arianna" has been sold and we have our new boat. Arianna was sold in only 5 days and we got our new to us Westsail 32 the next day. We have said when the time is right it would all fall together, but never thought it would be this easy. fair winds and following seas to all ...

Arianna has been sold.

After 2 seasons of cruising we have decided it is time to move up in size. Arianna has just returned and is ready to go sailing again now. New sails in 2010. Heavy duty triple stitched, off shore spec. by Schurr sails or Pensacola Fl. Main sail with full top and standard lower battens and 2 reefs. 1...

We put a snach block on the aft cleat and it works just fine. We sailed most of the way across the Gulf of Mexico in very light air last year like this and had no problems. We always try to KISS.

We are in the process of putting the registration numbers on our dingy and have a question. How do you get the registration sticker to stay on an inflatable dingy? Will it come loose when the dingy is deflated? Can we put it on the transom or just keep it in an envelope in the dingy bag? We are from...

What makes it a roller reefing furler is having a foam luff sewed into the sail that flattens the sail as it is furled. When done correctly you can have a much better sail shape with a partially furled/reefed sail. Last year we sailed for over 12 hours offshore in a full gail with just a reefed jib ...

Beautiful pic's. Thanks for sharing. I love my CD30K, but some day I'm going to have a TY.

I'm still wondering about anyone who has sailed a ketch in extreme conditions. We have for a short while, but never with big breaking seas. Just a lot of wind and less than 100 miles from shore. It is funny how many heavy weather stories you hear about the gulf of mexico. You have to be ready for an...

Okay. I just spent the last 2 hours watching sailing movies. Guess its as good as anything on a cold windy day.

I'm not sure if it is proper to say we hove to or lay ahull. In my mind it's more about how you lay to the wind. In our case the windage of furled sail and cruising deck clutter added a large amount of extra windage, much like having out some sail. Most of the windage was from the main mast aft. Din...
