I must be doing something wrong...surely a 4 weeks of use sail is, unless you happen to be sailing at Olympic level (and sometimes even there) new. The difference between a new sail and one with (say) a summer's use, is so small that for almost all sailors there will be no noticable difference in performance. Unless you have left it all day every day to flog in the wind, of course, but that is just stupidity. My 10 year old sails, however, probebly could do with a change, though they still win races...when I don't stop them, anyway.

Does this mean that occasionally I should be changing sails?? I thought that they should be as soft as a bed sheet Hang on a minute...is that why I was given 2 spares when I bought C 541. Think I will change for the softest one and only think about changing back to the crisp ones when I have the remotest clue about what I am doing |
