u) SUIT OF SAILS!
Your suit of sails should consist basically of one mainsail with three reefs, one staysail and
one #1 yankee. The other sails that are recommended are two storm sails, a 150 % light
genoa and, if you wish, either a DRS or a tri-radial spinnaker.!
It is much easier to manipulate a DRS than a!
spinnaker.!
MATERIAL
The thickness of the material for the mainsail!
should be 8.5 to 9-25 oz.;!
the light genoa 4-5 oz.;!
the staysail 9-25 oz.;!
the yankee #1, 7.2 oz;!
the two storm sails 10.5 oz fc ;!
the spinnaker or DRS 1.5 oz.!
We recommend that you order orange storm sails.!
MANUFACTURERS
We recommend that you buy sails made in North-!
America and will leave the choice of dealer up to you.!
Your sailmaker should be in your area since it is convenient!
to have him around for last minute adjustments.!
v) WINDVANE!
We are informed that the only windvane that works!
properly is the "Aries 1 '; the others are either too fragile!
or inefficient.!
