I'd like to know the difference between the following sails:
1. LP Race sail ($395)
2. LP Regular sail ($300)
3. Intensity sail ($199)
Does anyone have experience with all of these?
How can I tell whether the sail is in decent shape?
At this stage I'm just learning to sail. Grommets are ok. I patched some holes with sail tape. Power washed the dirt and grime off.In my opinion for recreational sailing, if it doesn’t have holes, tears or missing grommets it’s good to go. If you care about aesthetics, then fading, dirt and mold spots are considerations too.
If you plan to race then you need a racing sail of a reasonably recent vintage.

So I'm probably ok for now, and maybe better spend the money on a ratchet block.
No. I left it on the booms. What's the tool?Question: Did you remove the sail from the boom to repair the holes? Having trouble doing that...use a special tool to free the sail from the boom? Pretty tight! Thanks. Keukasail Fred
