TOPIC:

Hi everyone I've purchased Neville's Albacore a couple of months ago, we are looking to replace the old sails with new. We currently have a speed main and an x jib. Can anyone advise as to what the best make are at the moment and should I get another x jib or just a standard one? Hopefully we should be coming to the inlands in a couple of weeks time, we'll meet you all and hopefully get a few tips off you. Thanks for your help Dawn & Martin.

Hi Dawn & Martin

Look forward to seeing you at South Cerney - it would be a good opportunity to have a good chat to everyone and decide on sails.



Cheers for now

We used Hydes [img]smileys/smiley20.gif[/img] on 8080 over the winter & had good alround speed achieving some good results.

The most popular sails are MacNamara, Hyde, Pinnel & Bax & Speeds. I'm sure other experienced dinghy sailmakers will do a good job. The sailmaker will probably want to know what mast you will be setting the sails on and perhaps your all-up total crew weight.

As Jean says come to South Cerney and have a chat - everyone will have their own ideas!

Thank you for everyone's help and advice, we will consider the options after meeting you all and we'll see you on Saturday at South Cerney, lets hope the weather is kind to us.



Many thanks

Martin & Dawn
