Re: Would love to, but....
Captain Carr,
Hanalei was at sea Saturday last in 20-25 knots sustained, double reefed with yankee alone, conducting routine sail drill to keep crew up to snuff. One of the cringles, aft, was too tight, and ripped a 4 foot tear in the main. So, Hanalie is not up to the contest right now, but she may get a new main this year for next years contest. Awaiting you at sea Sir, I remain, your most HUMBLE servant.....

How old was your main
Captain Stump,
I am just curious. I read where your mainsail parted because of a tight reefing line at the leech (if memory serves). Was that main the original, or a least an old main?? Were you surprised that the sail split??

Re: How old was your main
Captain Kaplan,
The sail is original Ulmer from 1984. It split at the aft cringle, not on the leach, but about 4 feet in front of it. Cringle, that is the line used to tie up the baggy part of a reefed sail. I just tied it too tight, Captains error, but don't tell anyone! It is repairable, but makes one think of how nice a new one would be?????
Particularly with the contest to be waged next year at sea!!!
