I purchased a new main and 110 for my '88 32-3 this spring. The main has, according to the sailmaker (Doyle), a pre-bend wrinkle in it. The wrinkle runs downward and aft from the point where the luff and second batten (full batten) intersect. His recommended solution was to put shims on the forward side of the partners, put ALL the tension the aft lowers and only minimal tension the forward lowers. All of which tends to remove all pre-bend from the rig. This solution still does not always remove that wrinkle, especially going upwind. Overall I am just not pleased with the cut of this sail...
Does anyone have any ideas? Should I insist on having the sail recut? Is it even possible to recut a sail built with "Cruising Laminate"?
