Reply to: Prindle main downhaul setup

[quote=MN3][quote]I checked in with Chip before really cranking up the downhaul advantage. His comment was something along the lines of -- that's essentially an F18 sail, so it can take the downhaul. I an WAY more delicate with my older Dacron sails. [/quote] Not trying to be argumentative and I would certainly use a modern sail over a dacron one on any boat: I totally agree that it is a modern sail - it's the mast that isn't modern material will hold up and not continue to stretch like dacron does but when it is fatigued enough ... it just shreds so getting your sail as flat with a downhaul requires a lot more force to bend the (stiff) mast into that position than it would on a modern stick so it is harder on your sail than if you were on a bendy mast - imo[/quote]
