| 418.1 | vixen maybe? | RDF::RDF | Rick Fricchione | Thu Oct 09 1986 13:05 | 10 |
| What does the "V" look like? Many times its not the sail maker
but the maker of the boat who puts their insignia on the sail.
Could mean "Vixen", for example.

| 418.2 | Venture by Mcgreggor | ADS::MACKINNON | | Thu Oct 09 1986 13:28 | 8 |
| It's probably a "VENTURE" by Mcgreggor. Is the boat a 20,22,23,25
foot boat. I owned a Venture 23 "cutter", a nice first boat.
The sails are usually made by Neil Pryde International. The "V"
is located at the top third of the mainsail.

| Is the V a large emblem in the upper third of the main, or
a sewn on patch in the corner containing a V ?
I have Sails by VanZandt Sailmakers in Mystic Ct. which have
the smaller patch. I think they were absorbed by a larger
outfit a couple years ago.

| 418.4 | It looks like ... | AKOV05::KAUFMANN | | Mon Oct 13 1986 22:45 | 11 |
| It is a plain black 'V' near the clew, several inches above the
boom. The boat is a 16' Snipe manufactured by Lofland Sail Craft
of Wichita, which I believe is out of business. There is a 'V' on
the Main and Jib, which leads me to believe is a Sail makers
insignia. There are no other markings on the sail except the
class emblem and clas number.
Is that what the VanZandt Sail emblem looks like ??

| The V on my sails is blue, in a round patch about 3" in diameter
and surrounded by a blue circle. I think it also says VanSandt
Sailmakers in small white print on the blue circle, but I cant
be certain. I know the blue faded a lot after washing. The
color may be coincidental. The Tartan emblem and hull number
in the upper third of the main is also blue (in keeping with
the cove stripe/boot top color) so the color of the patch may
be chosen to match the sail.
You might give the folks in Mystic a call to see if it is one of
theirs, or who might have made it.

Well, thanks for your replies, I will continue to poke around
and if I find out I will post it.

| 418.7 | V for CLEW? | USSCSL::PASCUCCI | | Wed Oct 15 1986 11:27 | 4 |
| I think the "V" only indicates "This is the CLEW" My Neil Pryde
sail had the same marking.

| 418.8 | V FOR VENTURE | WILVAX::LANE | | Wed Dec 10 1986 17:12 | 4 |
| I BELIEVE "V" IS FOR VENTURE, MANUFACTURED BY A COMPANY NAMED
MCGREGOR IN CALIFORNIA KNOWN PRIMARILY FOR TRAILABLE SAILBOATS.
