JGarmin,
Read you 5 X 5.

Take two asprin.. count to ten... breath deeply...
FWIW --- Boats, houses, cars, whatever... we'all had these moments with 'em. (Moments, heck, Months!!)

Too bad you guys are so far away over on the right coast... if you were nearer to us we would take the two of you out on our boat for a sail.

I have a photo of the main from this past weekend. File size is over 1MG. Anybody know how to shrink that down so the site will allow upload? Apparently the max size is around 240KB.

Here is the picture.

It was taken last weekend in 10 knots of true. The halyard, outhaul and vang are tight as I could possibly get them. We heard a few strange sounds coming from the sail. Kinda like stitching popping ...Ping!

Ain't those wrinkles purdy?

They did not even give you an Ericson emblem for your money!

Follow up:

The sailmaker has agreed to make a replacement sail. Wish me luck...

Good deal

This is the best and proper outcome. Remind him to add the E-logo!!

The sail was replaced last week and I am now completely satisfied. I can shape the sail the way I want to, fat in the light stuff, flat in the heavy stuff. Doyle came through. Granted, I did have to keep after them but they did come through.

Anyone who wants a recut almost brand new E32-3 cruising lam main should call the East Greenwich, Doyle loft this winter...
