[quote=ericweller]My understanding of fat head sails is that they need alot of downhaul to be able to allow the top of the sail to twist allowing gusts to bleed off at the top of the sail. Does your Reynolds have a significant downhaul system?
Also, for my H16, I had a sail set made by FX Sails and found out that the colored Dacron sail cloth is substantially thinner than the white Dacron cloth. 5 oz versus 3-4 oz for the colored cloth. I don't know about the material that the other sail lofts use, but that may be why the loft you are considering told you that white sails last longer.
