update on my "recut" of the 7.8 Nordac main. North decided to change the head board to a shorter one ... to in effect shorten the luff ... Charged $215. and took all summer ... but then that is a Naples sail so I got free storage for 3 months... they had it ready when I needed it to drive back south this weekend.
But let me tell you I have two "normal weight" mains from Vee Jay 2 packed away and a 7.8 oz main is a lot heavier to heave around in the bag ... no wonder it doesn't blink in 35 kt gusts.
