Hi Dick
I have been out on the boat a few times now trying out the sails and they look magnificent. I attach a shot of the main taken yesterday. They are very different from the old Sanders sails with the main being much bigger and the jib a little smaller which has required me to learn to tack again. Not a problem if you ease out the main sheet a bit more and back the jib slightly going through the tack.

Hi Dick .. It was close for sure. If our navigation while leading had been better we’d have won at least one maybe two more races.. The boat is going very well and although we’ve been using the new jib for a couple of seasons the event was the first time we’ve used the new main. They do set well and are easy to read ……..

Absolutely delighted with the new jib. Easy to use and very fast. It was quite a shock to be mixing it with the big boys but our shortcomings were due to lack of practice. Now saving for the new mainsail!
Thanks again,
Dear Dick
Many thanks for repairing my sail on time (RS 500 spinnaker). I particularly like the matched in stitching. Its attention to detail like this which is so often overlooked. I wont be leaving my sails in the boat again for the mice to enjoy.
Kind regards

Dear Dick
Many thanks indeed for the super-quick superlative sail. The red stitching has them psyched out and the bungy foot.
Best Wishes

Dear Dick
I hope you’re well? The new Contessa spinnaker is excellent and we finally have a couple of shots from off the boat which I thought you may like.
Thanks again
All the best

Thank you very much for sorting out that bolt rope on the ex49er sail. We’ve used it twice this weekend and it works a treat
Hi Dick,
Nice sail, generally admired. Many thanks. Arrived just in time to win the 8hr endurance race at MNSC.
Best regards,

Dear Dick
Just a note to thank you for the sail you made for my dinghy. I am thrilled to bits with the sail – it sets beautifully on the mast, and I am gradually learning to use it
Sincerely
David
Hi Dick
I hope you are well and enjoying this great sailing weather.
I have now managed to hoist the sails on 3D and they fit perfectly and look fantastic.
Thank you
Nick
Hi Dick
Just to let you knowthat I have at last had an opportunity to use my ne sails and they work very well. I was able to keep ahead of Ian Burnett on Saturday and I beat most of the others on Sunday.
Thank you
Richard
Hi Dick
Had a first light wind sail last night. Sails looked great thanks. Only 4 out but went very well.
Did you want to do me a kite at some point ?
Cheers
Just to let you know that I’ve just sent a BACS payment for the invoice for the spinnaker sail repair.
Thanks for the work, the sail looks great now!
Hi Dick
Hope you are keeping well. The new Code Zero sail fits perfectly on the new bowsprit and looks great we can’t wait to try it out on our way to Greece this year.
Many thanks
Martyn
Hi Dick
I received the in mast roller furling mainsail today and I would like to say I am highly delighted. The cut, sewing and finish detail is of a high standard and I am very much looking forward to getting it set up and sailing in a couple of weeks.
kind regards

Dear Dick,
Thank you very much for your modifications to my sail to incorporate more reefing points. You have done so much more to it than I was expecting. It is now the most technically advanced sail I have and I look forward to seeing if I can use it well enough to deserve having it. It is a really beautiful job. Thank you again for such good work, I am very pleased!

Repairs look great! I have transferred the money owed to your bank account this morning.
I will write a separate email about new sails and mast track.
Best wishes
Hello Dick,
The sails you made for my Tideway three years ago have been excellent, won the Nationals in 2019 and many events since, thanks.
I now need a sail for my Solo, medium/ flat, Proctor C section mast., Sail no. 4087.
I don’t need it until next year, will wait to hear from you.
Regards Hugh
Hi Dick
I just wanted to say THANK YOU and your staff for sorting my Dart 15 sail. I’ve just refitted the batten and really impressed with all that has been done .
I hope you and your staff have a happy healthy new year.
Thanks again
Kev
