401.0. "Sail inventory" by CASADM::THOMAS () Fri Sep 05 1986 18:04
Practical Sailor recently had an interesting article on sail inventory
that I thought might provide some interesting discussion.
They got 4 different sail makers to prescribe inventories for three categories
of sailing:
daysailing - never sailing at night and never in winds over 25 knots
Coastal cruising - never makes a passage longer than 24 hours and never
sails in winds over 45 knots
Blue water cruising - long offshore passages, has to be capable of handling
ANY condition
Sailmakers( and spokesperson) represent supposedly a broad spectrum of opinion.
Starting with the conservative:
Thomas Clark Sailmakers, Tom Clark
Hild Sails, Herb Hild
Doyle Sails, Tom Whitmore
North Sails, Bill Bergantz
THey threw in a "free thinker" in Gary Hoyt who designed the original Freedoms
and their own ideas as well.
This is fairly long so be prepared and if anyone would like a copy of the
article just send me a self-addressed interoffice.
