Thank you for sharing!

I agree with you about the newer sail inventories. Since I’ll be in so much light air, I’m still leaning strongly toward the 110% jib, combined with a Code C, and a mainsail with a deep 2nd reef. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the pics and know how much fun it is to be on the water with friends...

Thanks for sharing. I’ve watched all of your videos ove the years and have really enjoyed them! Love that you did solo trips to Hawaii and back. Did the sailmaker say he used 6.5 oz cloth for your genoa? I wonder if he was using US weights…? Do you know the weight of your new mainsail? Thanks again!

I agree with you about the pennant. They do allow for better visibility with low-cut sails. I really like the Code sails offered now.

Thanks for the on-target comments. I think I’m going with the 6.63 Dacron crosscut. I suspect the 5.93 would work better in most light airs, but I have concerns about that weight in the blows that come up now and then. I chose the 110 as a versatile size, large enough to slightly overlap for...

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 recently purchased an 1976 Ericson 27 and have found it pulls fairly significantly to port under forward engine power. Do other Ericson 27 owners experience the same? Are you aware of any corrections possible? Thanks.
