Please forgive my criptic responses yesterday, I was running out the door to do a race (not on Wildcat, she's in the hospital undergoing surgery to fix her wounds)
To Dell;
In the thread on Dacron mains, page 11, my note dated 2-23-11 offered a proposed verbiage for rules change - I left the sail weight blank but asked for input.
Please read my note on 2-28-11 (page 12). Please read J Bro's note from 3-1-11 (pg 12). And agian, my note dated 3-9-11 (pg.13). My note dated 3-17-11 on pg 14 specifically addresses the weights of my string sails. Notes on 3-22, 3-23 and 3-28-11 (all on page 14) specifically address my dialog with sailmakers regarding sail wieght.

For reference, I spoke to the Doyle sailmaker in Eastern, Mi. I spoke to the UK sailmaker on the west side of Michigan (sorry I don't remember his name) and, I spoke with my sailmaker (Dieball Sails, in Toledo).

I hope this helps.
