Our jib was destroyed in a big wind storm in January. Some how the wind opened the leech at the top of the sail and slowly opened it enough to whip it’s self to death. Our replacement arrived this week. We should really be able to sail to weather with this new head sail.<\/p>\n _________________________________<\/p>\n Interesting Sailing blog to check out..
