Could you please offer your thoughts on the quality of the"practice sails" sold by IntensitySails.com? At $179, they seem like a steal, but I'm wondering what I'll get.
I don't race, but I'd still like to have a sail that performs well and lasts for several years. I'd like to know what the difference is b/t a practice sail and a class legal sail. Is the cut basically the same? Do they use a much lighter material? Do they blow out easier? I finally blew out the sail on my 1976 Laser last year and it felt like an old t-shirt on its last lap.
One more question: There are times when I'd like to have a bigger sail in light winds and a smaller sail in high winds. What are all the Laser sail sizes that fit on the standard size mast?
Thanks for your feedback!
Eric
