[Rhodes22-list] Mailsail Photos, Anyone?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Shouldn't be any wrinkles. I wonder if the new to 
you main or the webbing used for the attachment 
points are slightly longer at the luff (at the 
mast) than on your previous sail. The luff should be flat.

I've attached photos of the attachment points 
from when we replaced our main. We attached the 
top first and then really stretched it as tight 
as we could in the groove and attached the lower 
point. I think we drilled a new hole.

The other possibility is the used main is 
somewhat blown out of shape to begin with.

Best of luck. Let us know how you solve this.
