Bill,

Thanks for the update.

I nearly bought a new 3DR this winter, probably will in the spring. The story I have about the 3DR is that it currently is targeted at boats 40ft and under. The price was less than the 3DL. I think it will help the smaller boats get these sails at a better price because we will not be bumping the TP52 from getting their 3DL sails (-:

Bob,

To answer your question about the difference between a Benz J/30 main and a main designed in another loft - I think there is a hidden secret here.

After the main is completed Benz does a special "mojo" dance while preparing the sail for shipment. It is quite the sight to see. I'll video tape the next episode and post.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
