All, First thanks to everyone on this forum. You've helped me out a number of times.
We acquired our 1985 30+ over a year ago. It came with a "new" main but was said to have been cut down from another mainsail. At the time I had no idea the shape of the main and impact on performance. Now I think I know and am contemplating getting a new mainsail.
The main is short from leech to luff by about 24 inches. I suspect this has contributed to a bit more lee helm then normal. (we have a 150 gen)
Do you feel this is, in fact, causing sail performance issues?
Do new sails add any value when selling the boat? We will sell in a couple seasons for a different/larger boat.
Thanks again,
