New Sail on Sunfish for Canada Day

I bought my new sail from Intensitysails last August and just put it on for July 1, Canada Day, 147 years.
My first impressions in light air are all positive and I could feel the difference over my old sail, a Neil Pryde.
My biggest beef with the old sail was the so called window which was too small, wrong location and wrong material as you could not see through it.
The window in the Intensity sail is the right size location and material.
I could see a big difference in the shape and cut over the old sail and I felt out on the water and my GPS confirmed the increase in speed which makes a big difference as I am sailing in a tidal river and basin.
I was flying a large blue Canadian centennial flag 1867-1967 so that is the blue thing on the leech of the sail.
The other boat is an International 420.
Our summer winds are finally here which make for good sailing.

Nice! The new sail looks good. It's got those long, horizontal folds in it just like mine did when I got a new Intensity for my Laser. They slowly go away with time on the water.

Nice to see the Great Black Backs were enjoying Canada Day too. :cool:
