1st off...buying a $125 sail from Intensity is basically.about the cost of sail cloth even with my Sailrite wholesale prices...and they are pretty much the cheapest anywhere.
But...2 goals...fun and "maybe" point higher. I don't care about class legal.
The idea is a larger but potentially almost flat sail...so I don't screw up the draft of the sail. I presume this might work. I'd sacrifice speed for pointing higher too.
Thoughts? Flat so I can point higher, but less power ( less drag too? ) I'm guessing as well.
Also...using 1.5 oz ripstop nylon vs 4 oz Dacron....which would be about 30% cheaper in cost
Thoughts? (Will stay out of 25kt plus winds!)
