2023, order new main and jib
I have used the original North Sails main and jib from 2011, main in Dacron and jib in laminate. The jib was in terrible condition and main is loosing its shape a bit.
So I bought UK Sails Xdrive Carbon main and jib.I also replacing the Harken small boat furler that never worked good with a Selden Furled 50S.
2022, added Code 0 and small stay sail
For 2022 season I bought small flat UK Sail Code Zero on a Seldén CX 10 furler.
This has added some performance in light upwinds. I very light wind I just bear of a few degrees from a beat to get good VMG speed compare to using the jib.
It also works as a smaller reaching sail to use when the winds is a bit to much to sail my G3 gennaker.
The other sail is a bit of experiment, a small jib 4 with integrated AT cable, to be mounted on Seldén CX 10 furler inside the forestay in heavy weather. It will be interesting to se dig this setup works as I have not used it much yet.
