Upon Inspection, Can North and Hyde Sails be Identified from each other? If they are new and unopened? If they are used? What might be some ways of determining this?
48,000 miles on my Kitty Hawk, (cross country 4 times) plus all the other distances. First time I was worried about the 8" tires, but even in 100 degrees the hubs never got warm enough to warrant worry, normally they were always cool to the palm. Some people install 12" wheels for this concern...
Nathan. Excess friction in light conditions. Excessive line and having to pull more than on grab. Gradually remove parts it until you find your like. Of course if your very weak the 15.1 is necessary. Make sure you pull with your body and arm stiff, not with your arm alone.

I had one of those sails with the straight pocket too (radial). I've had batten falling out problems with 3 of the 8 sails I've gone through (all brands). Sewed the sleeves so installing and removing battens was tight, that worked. But taping from each side around the leech a few inches...
No, Sorry. I bought 2 Intensity sails (0ne radial and one standard) with battens and all the Intensity battens are shorter (up to 3/4") than the battens that came with my North and Hyde sails. The North and Hyde sail battens are all identical in length. The Intensity battens are not.
