any idea what the new sail will look like?
Also interesting that "the current Dacron sail is expected to drop in price to $450 from its current $650 once the new sail is available". So just how much profit are those guys making if they can afford to cut 30% off and still make money?
Different distribution network.Radial cut Full rig is really confusing. I hope they find a new name.

Some interesting tidbits in the class newsletter, but nothing concrete. Both Andy and Tracy say approval of the new sail is "close", waiting on the ISAF. New sails may be available mid-2013. The carbon upper mast may take a little longer.
