I am getting back into Sunfish racing after a 23 year absence.
My 2005 boat, foils and spars are excellent.
The 2005 sail seems quite good too.
But at the Master Worlds in Florida this weekend I saw lots of new, crisp sails that sure did look fuller and with better shape than mine.
Significantly faster in light to medium winds, too.
Has the sail been re-designed since 2005 to be that much better?
I can't see my sail with little real use getting that much different.
Oh, and does it really cost nearly $500 for a new sail?
Yikes.
Should I get one from one area rather than another, or are they really all the same Sri Lanka Norths?
