Rod et al.:

Pachyderm is going to opt out of the sail-buying arms race this fall. =
We're already in hock for the replacement on the spinnaker we shredded =
at Race Week and the main we bought to try and counter Wolverine's =
secret North Sails weapon. I will say the Fries Design main seemed =
pretty fast at Off Soundings. I can't say we had a speed advantage on =
Wolverine, but it certainly kept us in the hunt or better until I could =
find some other way to blow it the second day..  Time will tell how long =
it lasts. I've been happy with our radial paneled North #2 purchased 2 =
years ago. It is slightly heavier than a 3DL but shows no signs of =
losing it's shape. I'd still stick with a string sail for a light one =
where the weight matters more. =20
