Curious if anyone is aware of any opinions about performance compromise, if any, by changing the luff of the mainsail from a bolt rope to slugs? Has anyone done it and were they happier?

Hurrah for Bob Eeg! In my last epistle (Jan.15/07) I expressed serious doubts about the boat being ready by the end of Jan. I apologize to Bob. It was ready on time in spite of the need for finding a new bimini supplier. I'm amazed by the quality of workmanship--nothing slipshod. Also, Bob spent two hours explaining all the rigging,and answering questions from a couple of novices with the utmost patience. He even supported his explanations with detailed drawings to help us remember. All in all we are extremely happy with our experience. "Li'L Nan" trailed home beautifully. We left sunny California and 70 degrees for Thunder Bay and -25. When is spring?

Bolt rope's a pain, and I contemplated changing when I had new sails sewn for our M15. As it happened, we traveled down to Oakland and I had the good fortune to race with Jerry M in the Cruiser Challenge in 2000. He was very partial to bolt rope, so that's the route I took and the new sails were waiting at his place when we arrived. The proof for me was in the pudding because we won our class, and by time beat all but the biggest boats of the boats around the course. We've got bolt rope on our M17 now and I'll stick with that next rev too... two cents. t On 2/15/07, Sailfan1 <sailfan1@yahoo.com> wrote:
