First race weekend with new Square Head Main
Posted: Sun Sep 15, 2013 7:20 pm
Hi all,
Yesterday was the first weekend of the Fall Race Series at my club. When I arrived at the club it was blowing 10-13 mph; by the skippers' meeting it had dropped to 5-7 mph; and by race time it was only 2-4 mph. So, how does my new Square Head Mainsail perform in light air? F###ing great!

With my 25 year-old original main I would have finished dead last on every race. In fact I probably would have withdrawn after race one. With this new sail I was right with the fleet for most of the race. Thanks again to Mack Sails for this great sail at a great price! The next test for me and this new sail is in two weeks when I will be competing in the BCSA's Great River Race. I'll be racing the "short course" which is 17 miles or 8 hours, which ever comes first.
