mainsail

I am having new sails made for my E27 and will be sailing the Salish Sea in WA and the coast of BC. My previous late spring through early fall experience here has been one of predominantly lighter winds with occasional strong gusts or fronts coming through. I want to optimize sailcloth weight...

I am in the process of speccing a new mainsail for an E35-3... which is definitely a learning experience (this will be my first purchased sail). For those of you that have 3 reefs (or 2 with one very deep), where did you specify them? I am told by a sailmakers that normal is 12/24/36% (up luff...

I have a mainsail off of my last boat (1971 Ericson 29) for sale. Long story short, I bought an Ericson 30+ a few years ago after selling my E-29. The latter had major engine issues and a broken mast. I got a ton of low ball offers. So, I eventually took everything of value off the old boat...

I have managed to break 3 of the slides on the foot of my 1990 E34 mainsail twice in the first year of ownership. The first time I and my sailmaker assumed it was the age of the plastic. But now the new ones have broken so I don't have that excuse. I have not sailed in anything over 20 knots so...

Looking for a new mainsail cover and jib bag for my '76 E29. I currently have yellow, but was looking into dark blue to match the stripe on hull. Also would be interested in 8 winch covers to match. Please contact me at rambling_irishman@hotmail.com Thank you!

I am looking for feedback/suggestions on installing a mainsail track into the bolt groove in my teardrop shaped mast and then attaching the sail to the track. Examples are Tides Marine, Antal, Harkin... On my existing setup my mainsail uses 1/2" slugs and works great until I have to reef when...

8 oz North dacron (Nordac), P=30.7, E=12.5, loose footed, sail slides, 1 set reef points, <100 hrs of use. Had it built for previous boat which I sold last year. Can't find battans. Best Offer. Call 267-799-6545. Vince Benn

looking for a good used mainsail, If you have one extra let me know exoduse35@yahoo.com thanks Edd

I am looking for a used cover for my main . I have a e-27 with a boom measurement of 11' . I don't have a lot of money to pay. I could probably cut down one slightly longer if i had to. All other covers are blue.

I have a used main tagged as having the above measurements. It was one of the extra sails that came with my E381. I have not used it and do not foresee ever using it. From opening it up a few years ago I recall there was a chafed area that was patched, but aside from a little wear at the edges...

In So Cal - E-35 North Sail mainsail with two reef points. Two small horizontal tears (about 3" long) and wear along the leech line in a couple of places. $125 OBO and you pick up or pay shipping. Email: principiab@aol.com for more info Not sure the pictures attached, but can send...

Is a furled mainsail (boom style) any good? I mean, does it sail well and it it worth the extra trouble and expense to get one? Will the sail hold a good shape when it is furled on the boom? What about battens? I have a 1988 32-200 that is due for a new main sail. I believe that I am running...

I need a mainsail to get me by another season. Mine is in sad shape unfortunately and I have a feeling it may not make it through this season. Does anybody have a mainsail they are looking to get rid of that might fit the bill for a season? I will pay shipping. I am planning on purchasing...

I have a 1975 E32 and have periodically been checking on ebay for a used mainsail and stumbled on this today. If I had a an E-29, and needed a new mailsail, I think I would be taking a serious look at this sail. I don't know if the sail dimensions are correct but it looks to be in great...

We have a customer who is unable to take delivery of a brand new mainsail for an Endeavour 33 (std rig) Before it goes on Ebay I wanted to give the E35-3 community a chance to buy it. Highlights 8oz high modulus Dacron 2+2 battens (new tapered battens included) 2 reefs Radial patches...

Well I knew sailing could be expensive. After finishing a local race in wind gusts up to 33 knots I managed to severely tear my 22 yr old mainsail in our 1986 E32-3. If it is not repairable I am considering installing a CDI Mainsail Reefing System. Anyone have any experience with this or the CDI...

We are looking for a mainsail in good condition. Specs are: Luff 30' 11" Foot 10' 5" Two reef points 5/16" diameter of slide/bolt rope that goes in the grove of the mast. Please call Daniel at 702-501-3135

We are anticipating the arrival of a new mainsail for our 35 MkII. We went with Dave and Edward at the Quantum loft in North Van and have been very pleased so far with their service. Dave came and measured the boat - not just the main dimensions but took all the info for jib/genoa and noted...

The sailing vessel "Bye Design" built in 1978 needs a good used mainsail. please reply to Michael Brown @michaelbrown32@cox.net

My original 1979 mainsail is coming to an end of life point. Three more new holes opening up and stretched out material around the tack that no tensioning of luff or foot will firm up makes me think it's time to start looking for a new main. I have come across a used main that is in truly...

the boom on our '71 35mkll has been cut down. it has been a SF bay boat all it's life so kinda understand why but as we plan the open ended point west, and need new main sail anyway... would any one have an original laying around? does any one have info on the manufacturer of the original...

Pentex 2 Reefs, 2 full battens and 2 partial battens. Like New. Cost around 3k new. Selling for $800

Well, it was a bright, warm, calm (for SF Bay) day yesterday. We'd just come back from a brief excursion to pt. Bonita...the Chardonay was excellent, did a leisurely jibe, and watched in amazement as the main ripped in two, about halfway up....no sweat, no strain, just a tear we could watch...

We installed a new foresail furler and now we seem to have created a trim problem as we have to put in a reef at 10-12kns of wind to prevent excessive weather helm. We don't get the boat over 5knts at the best of times when beating even after a good bottom cleaning and painting. Dave

Having just ordered a new mainsail for my E38 200, and today eyeing my mildewed, flaccid, shapeless 15 year old mainsail, I wonder, how can I look after the new one better than the old one was treated? Other than taking it off the boat after every sail, which I am not willing to do, how about a...

Hi all, I have a 1986 38-200. I'm considering replacing the current mainsail boom with an aftermarket furling boom. Has anyone done that before? Does anyone have suggestions for quality manufacturers of in-boom furling systems best for this boat. Does anyone think it's a bad idea in...

OK, 2nd season with my E-25, but first time bending on the mainsail- This should be pretty straightforward, right? run her down the boom track, secure to outhaul, run up track on the main... and sail must also be attached (by 'hook or by crook') where boom meets mast?? tips?? thnx!

well, this sounds simple enough, and may well be... but it's not covered in my E-25 manual anywhere; correct procedure for 'bending on' and securing mainsail on an E-25?? bgs

I'm looking for a Used Mainsail for my E-32.....any suggestions :)

In the process of inspecting my rigging this year, I somehow convinced myself that adding height to the mast, length to the boom, and upgrading the spinnaker pole to carbon were all good ideas. Hence I now must dispose of the original equipment, which is in reasonable condition for it's age...
