The mainsail on my boat is pretty much shot also. My boat is a re-mfg
1990 and I insisted on the old style spars (non IMF) and the sail I have
is all that Stan had. I got in touch with Doyle regarding a new main
the sail they suggust has 2 full length battens at the head and 2
partial battens towards the foot.
The sail they quoted was also loose footed! When I expressed surprise I
was told that (Doyle) was no longer building mains with bolt ropes along
the foot. There contention is that a loose footed sail set's better and
last longer.
