Due to an unfortunate occurrence whilst whipper snippering at home, when I put my foot down on apparently nothing and then decided to sit upon my ankle with my ‘sylph like’ body mass.
Here be it now recorded just how much I loathe gardening!
However - today moon boot and subsequent ankle brace being confined to the cupboard after 12 weeks, is the first glimpse of my beautiful new mainsail.
Rigged and fitted and test sailed! Yeah. Product plug : Smith Sails, you ripper . It’s great , looks beautiful, looks strong and superbly constructed and with reef points that make more sense to me than the original mainsail.
looking fantastic ,beautifully constructed

For the life of the original main the only times we ever used the first reef point were, homeward bound through Indonesia when the clew ring webbing failed and from when the main shredded itself last year. The first reef appeared to take out so little that we always just skipped straight through to the second reef , for comfort and ease. If it was time to take a reef -take two and halve the effort!
