Hi Guys,

In case you all ordered new sails I am looking for a good racing #3 and # 2 (140) for the Frers 33. Anyone interested that has either of these sails in good condition let me know.

I thought all the Frers had those. The only time we have overlap problems is when you start with more than 3 wraps on a winch. Other than that I've never had one.

The sheet then goes from the genoa car to this foot block (turning block) then to the winch. This way the angle of the sheet from the Foot Block to the winch is always constant and doesn't vary depending upon what jib/genoa you have up. In some cases the lead from the genoa car to the winch can be very slight which leads to wraps.
