Gang,

I worked with Bill Hansen here in the SF Bay area to build a square top sail. Couldn't be happier with the sail.

Can't really give a performance review, I am new to sailing, so I don't really know if it is better than others.

It seems like it performs well enough, I just snapped the boom, so the sail must be powerful enough to reveal the next weakest link.

Cheers,

Matt
