Hi All
I would vote NO on the weight restriction of 30#.
My current woven Pentex main weighs 31# and I expect 10% less with a Mylar/Pentex laminated fabric with S Glass LPT Technology. An affordable tech sail. It may weigh less than 27# with 1 reef point. I prefer 2 reef points which may add some. I know many like 1 reef point.
Doyle Detroit can make me a sail that weighs 30# using extra tapes and at extra cost. I will not be doing that.
In the Great Lakes, Tech sails are prevalent and to be competitive in PHRF I will go that route. 1design does not exist for me but if NA's came to me I would participate but only if I could use my best sails.
I vote no as currently proposed. Tech sails are for improved performance at less weight. I DO want to include tech sails in our options.
Regards
