Very nice.

Looking forward to seeing a photo of that sail filled with a stiff breeze.

Purchased sails for Comprise from Precision Sails. Partially battened , loose footed, 2 reef points, 6 oz cloth main and a 135 6 oz Genoa.

Awesome improvement.

Loose footed main moved the center of lift down so less heeling.

The 135 Genoa vastly improved the bi-wing effect. No more luffing main leading edge. Also a more effective jib when furled.

Finally got to sail in small craft advisory weather with the new sails. Awesome! No scary violent healing and round up.

Was able to furel the 135 Genoa with the luff line and use the jib blocks. Worked as designed. Kept the shape and improved the point.

Have not tuned the luff line yet.

Double reefed the Main.

Could never trim the old Main.

Highly reccomend.
