So OK ... someone asked how I can destroy a 155 kevlar in one year ... this is a heavy weight kevlar on an old harken furler.
A tune up today with Shock, a Wavelength 30; and Keewaydin, a 108 ft. ketch. Sail looks good for 3 months old ... but we'll see what it looks like in 12 months as we reef it out of shape. Actually the results today were somewhat in favor of full main only ... except on a broad reach ... then the 155 works really well in any wind. [note the title background is not a kevlar, but a 3dl shot i had]
Only other boats out were the kite sailors and the OPTIs. wind 20-25, waves 3-6, water 55, air 65
