I hope i didn't give anyone the impression I would ever buy a 3DL main ... duh ... if it is like my last 3DL genny, I wouldn't get one year out of it.
But the nice thing about a high tech main is that you can see when it falls apart and looses shape. My favorite main is 7.8 oz dacron and i don't think that one is ever going to stretch out, and if it did I don't think I would be able to tell for a couple of years. Full battons, two reefs ... go anywhere anytime.
No, I am a died in the wool dacron main guy ... tied into heavy stainless steel tides marine slides, heavy batten pockets etc.
I wasn't planning on sailing up to NO although it would be a straight shot NNW. I have yet to see any video out of NO that would raise my pulse from it's medically controlled state.
do they get waves on that lake? it's got to be like Bristol.
My second Dacron 7.2 oz main North continues to dick around with trying to solve an inverted batten problem in light air. I hate light air.
