Can anyone point me to any online photos of these flap-top sails that have been mentioned in here a few times?
thanks
most new style boats today have these sails. They capture more wind when the air is light and in heavy wind they spill some wind.
This site sells nacra's and inters.
Currently I am very busy but when I get the time I will take a picture of my H16 with a square top main. This type of sail really works well on the H16 and other older designs. The Prindle 19 MX is an older design that is a rocket with a square top main. Stay tuned and I will follow this post up with a picture.
I will trying to send you a couple of pictures of my H16 with the square top main.
When we get the Hobie 16 web site up and running, this site will have a small section called the Turbo Hobie 16 which is a H16 with Square top main & tri-radial jib (both sails with foam battens), spinnaker, better down haul, and light waight rudders (also some people add a set of Trapseats to the TH16). The TH16 is not ment to replace the standard one design H16 but is just a small part of the web site dedicated to those who would like more speed and/or mainly do open non-Hobie events (PN events) and/or like to distance race.
A H16 is a jet with a square top main and spinnaker.
