Thanks, Mike. Ullman, good idea. I have some experience (good) with the SD loft. Dacron definitely. I'm going to pull the boat next week and bring her home for some TLC. Scot

:: Hey Scot

:: Actually, Pariah uses Ullman sails and yes we got 3rd in
:: Nationals last year and 4th in 2007 and again in 2008
:: with the same sails-they have been great. We dealt with
:: Bruce Cooper in the Newport Beach loft, but I know that
:: Ullman also has a full service loft in San Diego.
::
:: A word aboout materials; I think for what you're doing
:: you wwant regular old Dacron. Some of the racers have
:: Pentex and other high tech cloth (at much higher cost),
:: but those cloths are much more delicate, don't last
:: nearly as long and for what you're doing with the boat,
:: the low cost/low maintenance/longer lasting Dacron is
:: the way to go
::
:: By the way our Ullman race sails are Dacron and after 4
:: years still look great.
::
:: Congrats on the new boat

::
:: :: Without an active racing class of S22 here in SD I'm
:: :: looking forward to family sailing on it. A little
:: :: overnighting. The S22 was the first keelboat I sailed as
:: :: a teenager, so besides being near bulletproof and super
:: :: safe there is a certain romantic appeal, believe it or

:: :: :: Hello,
:: ::
:: :: :: during the last nationals the top 3 boats had Pineapple
:: :: :: (Bonito, 1st), Santa Cruz sails (Meli'ki, 2nd) and UK
:: :: :: Halsey (Pariah, 3rd), so obviously they are all good and
:: :: :: fast sails. In my opinion the SC jib is nicer than the
:: :: :: Pineapple jib, as the foot of the latter is rather loose
:: :: :: when going to weather. The SC sails still look to be in
:: :: :: decent shape after 4 seasons of racing.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Used sails are quite often offered on this website, or
:: :: :: on craigslist, SF bay area. It's pretty easy to find
:: :: :: cheap & usable sails, but very hard to find good ones...
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Good luck!

:: :: :: :: Hi Scot,
:: :: ::
:: :: :: :: The fast boats seem to be using Pineapple or UK Halsey.
:: :: :: :: I use Pineapple myself as they are local (I have nothing
:: :: :: :: but good things to say about Pineapple Sails) but in San
:: :: :: :: Diego you may want to use Halsey if they have a local
:: :: :: :: shop. Are you going to be racing, cruising, day
:: :: :: :: sailing...?
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: Okay, since I'm not gettin' a lot of bites with this,
:: :: :: :: :: and now there's another sail wanted ad, how about y'all
:: :: :: :: :: throw in your two cents. What are my best options if I
:: :: :: :: :: start looking for new sail quotes? Pineapple, ... Who
:: :: :: :: :: else?
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: Thanks.
:: :: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: :: Any leads on good used sails?
:: :: :: :: ::
