I decided to continue using the 3- ounce Fleetboat cloth which has proven itself acceptable in the 30-year history of the class. To remove many of the wrinkles from the sail , I rotated the top and bottom panels so that the thread direction lined up with the stretch. These sails looked good and performed very well when test­ ed against other Sunfish on Lake Ontario. Finally I had achieved my goal of pro­ ducing a faster, better looking sail for a reasonable price. These sails were given their final stamp of approval by Alcort and the class at the Hans Fogh tests his new sail in heavy air in Aruba.
