Not starting another "why are sails so c**p/overpriced/shortlived/etc. ? thread but I was wondering what sails people actually own/use.
The options I thought of were:
1. Only class legal sails (i.e. not gone down the 3rd party route at all)
2. Both 3rd party and class legal, class legal is good enough for regattas (e.g. use 3rd party for club racing saving the class legal sail(s) for more important races)
3. Both 3rd party and class legal, but class legal sail(s) are well worn (e.g. when my class legal sails got too bad I opted for a 3rd party replacement and the class legal sail is only really an emergency spare).
4. Only 3rd party.
5. As with any poll there are bound to be other options that I have overlooked.
I was not trying to re-start the endless debate ('cos I think there are a couple of threads active at the moment relating to this anyway). More just wondering what people actually use.
