I agree with your sailmaker, Craig. The sunbrella is too heavy (it's 10 oz. cloth!). I have the lighter UV resistant fabric on my furling headsail (CDI furler, North sail).

What do those of you with headsails on a CDI have? _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
